This is a starting point for Linux project

Linus started to post a kernel (operating system core), a minix clone to the mailing list. I wonder this archived on google mailing list.

This is a starting point for Linux operating system project until now we use and get benefit from it. Linux is only act as a kernel but not the whole operating system. There are some misunderstandings about how to differentiate between Linux and additional/supported packages which build a single operating system. Supported packages are GNU (GNU Not Unix) to work with along with kernel to handle different task.

So how can we use this term to describe Linux system? Instead of using only “Linux”, use GNU/Linux and for more specific, use with its distribution, such us Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, openSuSE Linux etc.
