Nonsense. Embedded applications work directly on top of a kernel. They require a bit more than a kernel to run, so no, they don't work directly on top of a kernel. If you implement the operating system directly in the kernel, then the kernel and operating are the same. > GNU is one operating system that works with Linux, More nonsense. Operating systems certainly require a kernel (in fact, the standard Computer Science definition pretty much covers _only_ the kernel unless we are talking Microkernel-based systems). GNU without kernel is not an operating system. Sure it is. The only nonsense is what you have said. David, you really ought to go and take a CS class.. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
