GNU/Linux isn't the distro. Red Hat, Debian, etc. are Linux distributions. GNU does NOT distribute Linux. Everything you do runs the GNU tools, yes, but as I said before, if you were to put Busybox in its place, it would no longer be GNU/Linux. It wouldn't be as powerful, but it wouldn't be GNU. GNU has been working forever on their Hurd kernel. THAT would be GNU/Hurd, or GNU Hurd, or whatever, as it's actually theirs.

Linux is the kernel. Red Hat Linux is a distro. Debian Linux is a distro. GNU/Linux would have to be GNU's version of Linux, but they don't have their own Linux kernel, or a distro. Sorry guys.
