I can't help it ... I just have to keep posting URL's everytime ... here's another one :-) "There really is a Linux; it is a kernel, and these people are using it. But you can't use a kernel by itself; a kernel is useful only as part of a whole operating system. Linux is normally used in a combination with the GNU operating system: the system is basically GNU, with Linux functioning as the kernel." You must have guessed where this comes from, but anyways: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html > No, then those OSen would also be Linux. You are referring to Redhat, > Debian, SuSE, Mandrake, Caldera, etc. Now you are confused ... they are GNU/Linux distros!
