The kernel is a very small portion of the operating system and is nothing really without the GNU portions (this is direct from the creator of the Linux kernel). People who have no knowledge on the subject are the ones who would want to call it Linux instead of GNU/Linux. The main components of a Linux based operating system is the contributions from GNU. When you call Linux an OS, then no, we are not saying the same thing.</blockquote>
