Linux is more than an Operating System or a Kernel. It's a philosophy and for some people a lifestyle, maybe even a religion.
Seriously, when most people say "Linux" they mean the GNU Linux Suite with a FOSS GUI, desktop, and a load of useful software - in short, they mean a whole distro, not a kernel.
Its RMS who keeps the "Its a kernel not an OS!" thing alive.
