   Get off it.  Linux is a kernel.  Linux distributions are a kernel plus
   all the other stuff.  There are no Linux distributions of only a kernel.

And this "other stuff" is a variant of GNU.

   Yes, he could have said GNU/Linux distros, but the context made it
   abundantly clear that he wasn't talking about just a kernel.

It was also wrong.  Is there any reason why you need to start flaming?
