Correction: Alexandre Oliva has said that "an operating system is a kernel 
plus a bunch of userland libraries and programs that users and other 
applications generally rely on" and that GNU is an example of an operating 
system. I can't believe I forgot that.

It's a bit vague, but clearly a whole lot less than all of Fedora or Debian. 
It could be taken to mean just a kernel and the GNU command line tools, or it 
could include X and Gnome too.
