What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Fuck, rimmis is the greatest troll ever. That never fails to raise my hackles.

His definition of operating system is a complete system like a POSIX system. Thus, calling Linux an operating system would be inaccurate. My definition of OS is the kernel, the definition I learned from Dr. Andy Tanenbaum

Buy this book http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596005658/

Read manpages.

is it like a test? Real GNU/linux users say linux and only impressionable RMS fanboys say linux? it's like a secret code that everyone knows except me.

This is what people who use linux actually believe

There are two ^GREAT_LEADERS responsible for the underpinnings of Linux as we know it. One of them eats stuff he found in his toes, and the other is Finnish. But most people don't really care what they think. They just want their zero-cost software.

rms smells really bad irl

It's a xanatos gambit to keep people from assassinating him

He repels them with his stench

Just install, and use Google whenever you run into problems. In about two years, you'll be about half as smart as a first-time GNU/Linux user.

I've been using Ubanto lunix or three years now, and only recently did I learn what the non-home, non-bin root directories are for.
