For the record when explaining to completely clueless people what
Linux is, they think Linux is one thing like Windows is one thing.
They will say " You mean like XP and Vista right?" and you'll respond
*sigh* "No, not like that...." or "Well, sort of but ...."
Try explaining the concept of a distribution to someone who has no
idea what your talking about and you will soon find that calling the
OS Linux is really misleading. I don't care what you call it
personally but the other side has a very valid point. The kernel is
useless without the shell, compiler, etc...
Usually you name something for its more attractive features, not
utilitarian gunk. There was a GNU project before Linux. Next to no one
used it. There is still a GNU project OS without Linux. No one uses
it. What is the attractive part here?
