Indeed! Linux is just a Kernel. Darned the
media for simply coining the name from Linus
alone!
Most people are not accustomed to refer to
Linux as THE Kernel, and THE OS that we all
love is GNU/LINUX. HAIL Richard M. Stallman!
The Guru's work must not be forgotten!
Hail Torvalds for his work on this tasty
kernel!
