The word "Linux" has entered into the English language meaning a complete Unix-like operating system based on the Linux kernel, which was originally written by Linus Torvalds.
However there are people that claim that Linux is just a kernel, and not a full OS. People who make such distinctions often insist on using the GNU/Linux moniker.
So, is Linux an OS, a kernel or both? Should we call it Linux or GNU/Linux?
