Not ones that don't use gnu software surely. Anyway, you're missing the
point that that line is aimed right at existing distributions that
generally all just have "linux" in their name, and putting a "GNU" in
there weakens the statement.

There is one somewhere that uses a custom language for init, and
everything is scripts written in that language that are compiled at boot
time.I'm not sure what it does for libc, but there are certianly
gnu-free possibilities these days. I don't remember the name, and there
are probably some more variations on this. A busybox system that uses
uclibc would be a less extreme example.
