So then why insist that the name used commonly _should_ be GNU/Linux?
Because the operating system being used is the GNU operating system, with Linux as its kernel. What about GNU/BSD where you run the GNU stuff with a BSD kernel? There is a GNU/kFreeBSD system out ther (k for kernel, BSD is after all a operating system, like GNU). Also, what's the rub on "GNU/Hurd" when the Hurd kernel *is* GNU? It should just be "GNU"! For clarity.
