It is important not to confuse Linux, the kernel, with GNU, the actual
I don't. Sure there's bsd-gnuland and linux-bsdland hybrids now too. Yet to a bsd user, the linux kernel is the most visible trackable thing to them guiding what they can do with any linux (even though to match a bsd base you have to pack at least binutils and glibc to linux kernel... but that's mostly moot herein).
Also of note that GNU also has its own kernel, Hurd (microkernel-based), which is still under development a couple of decades later.
So is plan9 and a bunch of other stuff that still hasn't gone anyware. Oh well.
