I'd say that `Linux systems' are systems that involve Linux; it's not
a very descriptive term....
Some Linux systems are just lobotomised GNUs on top of Linux. Some
(most?) are lobotomised GNUs with some implants. Some are BSD/Linux
(I'll use "/" from now on to indicate an `on top of' or `over-under'
relation, since I can't right a proper vinculum in ASCII). Some are
somehomebrewOS/Linux. Some are just (a modified form of) Linux.
Anthony might (I'm guessing that he does) have some specific one of
the above in mind when he says "Linux systems", though.... I really
wish that people would learn to speak with levels of specificity
appropriate for what they're trying to communicate--it'd make life
much easier and leave time for more fun things than guessing at
semantics and playing out the resultant fights ;)
