What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

That intro and general structure (AI loves bulleted lists but then again so do I) sure sound like a lot of the responses I’ve gotten. As always, it’s hard to say for sure.
