Linux, GNU and Linux
Linux often used to define GNU/Linux. When people mention about "Linux", they were talking about "GNU/Linux" most of the time.
But, Linux ( I mean the kernel ) isn't GNU. It doesn't require any GNU tools such as GCC to be built.
The problem is, Linux itself is a GNU covered, it released under GNU/GPL, and it should be a GNU software.
So yeah~ GNU/Linux ( that often used as the distro ) is GNU, but Linux itself isn't GNU, it's GNU software. Quite complicated! heh~
