What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

Yes, but I'll reach a bit and suggest that Linux Kernel could still exist without the originating GNU components, though certainly the originating GNU concept is worth the inclusion, whereas GNU itself never had a stable release until the Linux kernel arrived.

I had worked with Unix a little in the past, Linux isn't that much of a stretch to adjust to but still there is much to learn and explore. I think Gnu and Tux are strange bed-fellows, but somehow it works ... and how.
