As far as I can tell, if you want to be technical about it, "Linux" is 
the tiny bit of code that runs tasks, handles interrupts, manages memory 
and has a few device drivers. When you install "Linux", 90% of the stuff 
you're installing isn't actually "Linux" at all; it's mostly the GNU 
toolchain, GNOME or KDE, Firefox and half a million other 3rd party items.

Apparently some people insist on calling it "GNU/Linux". Like *that's* 
going to happen...

Whatever happened to HURD?
