What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. … Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run.
Why is Linux called GNU Linux?
Because the Linux kernel alone does not form a working operating system, we prefer to use the term “GNU/Linux” to refer to systems that many people casually refer to as “Linux”. Linux is modelled on the Unix operating system. From the start, Linux was designed to be a multi-tasking, multi-user system.
Is actually GNU Linux?
Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
