And would you like to tell us what *you* mean when *you* say "Linux"? What is
part of Linux in your mind, and what is not part of Linux?
Linux has always been just a kernel. But what you usually describe is a
complete distribution. I can't recall ever having any reason to have a
name for a subset of a distribution that only included the GNU
components and the kernel. Can someone who uses this term explain the
circumstances where it is useful? This subset rarely/never exists by
itself and it doesn't make much sense to name it, although you might
need to talk about the kernel specifically or the complete distribution
as a whole.
