Ubuntu is a distributor of free software - the GNU operating system, the Linux kernel, and many other parts. When you combine the GNU operating system with the Linux kernel, you have a GNU/Linux operating system (or GNU+Linux, although I think the / looks nicer typographically I tend to say GNU plus Linux) There is clear information about this on the GNU website. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
