Quite interesting argument Long back when i was introduced to Linux philosophy , the first teachings was that don't call it as linux , call it as Gnu Linux .
That's the reason behind calling it as GLUGS . Please correct me if I am wrong in this front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#why Quoting from the final link Why do you call it GNU/Linux and not Linux? Most operating system distributions based on Linux as kernel are basically modified versions of the GNU operating system. We began developing GNU in 1984, years before Linus Torvalds started to write his kernel. Our goal was to develop a complete free operating system. Of course, we did not develop all the parts ourselvesbut we led the way. We developed most of the central components, forming the largest single contribution to the whole system. The basic vision was ours too. In fairness, we ought to get at least equal mention. See Linux and the GNU Project and GNU Users Who Have Never Heard of GNU for more explanation, and The GNU Project for the history.
