Linux IS NOT a GNU operating system. Linux is Linus Pet Project,
and thats all. Linux is not even an operating system, it is just
a Kernel and, again, it is not a GNU Kernel. HURD is a GNU kernel.

A Linux distribution (exception being Debian) is not more a GNU
operating system than a X11/BSD/Name-Your-License Operating system.
