GNU/Linux #820526

Description
GNU/Linux is technically the correct term for most distributions. Why? Distributions contain GNU tools which make up much of the system. The confusion has spread too far, and a lot of people call it "Linux". Should you always call it GNU/Linux? Not always; if you're talking about the kernel only, say "Linux". If you're talking about the entire system, call it "GNU/Linux". It's rare to find a Linux distribution not using GNU, but there is one: Android. Who cares though? Linux is more catchy!
