Linux is simply a shorter, easier version of saying GNU/Linux.
Similar to "US" being a shorter version of "USA".
Any GNU/Linux distro is a packaging of Linux kernel with GNU
programs. Most of these GNU programs (X, Gnome, KDE, binutils, gcc)
run under many kernels and operating systems, such as Linux, BSD, Sun,
MS Windows, and so on and so forth.

you should read up on what GNU actually means. X, Gnome and KDE are not GNU
software.

He uses gNewSense at the moment, so a Ubuntu (Debian) derivative in a sense. I
interviewed him recently, so he told me. He used to be using Utoto.

Yeah, I wasn't sure when I typed this. I was going to do a quick Web search to
confirm, but I didn't (I rarely do).

My wife nagged me about the way I walk about the mansion most of the
night, "Go to see a psychologist, you are just too worried about all

Oh, no. Don't feed that thing. He goes around blogs (mine included) and spams
them with links to his blog, along with sarcastic remark and weird humour.
