I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering 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.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. 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. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Also, yes, if you're not retarded and are referring to GANOO LOONIX distributions.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as AnonTalk, is in fact, TinyBBS/AnonTalk, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, TinyBBs plus AnonTalk. AnonTalk is not an BBS unto itself, but rather a closed-source component of a fully functioning bulletin board system made useful by the facepalm, derp and vital drama components comprising TinyBBS as defined by r04r.

Many computer users run a modified version of the TinyBBS system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of tinyBBS which is widely used today is often called “AnonTalk”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the TinyBBS system, developed by the TinyBBS Project.

There really is an AnonTalk, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. AnonTalk is the bloat: the useless features in the system that lets you do things like Daredevil mode or Multi-X mode. The features are an essential part of a BBS, but useless by themselves; they can only function in the context of a complete BBS. AnonTalk is normally used in combination with the tinyBBS bulletin board system: the whole system is basically TinyBBS with AnonTalk added, or TinyBBS/AnonTalk.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. 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 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.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. 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. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
