Well, GNU is the GNU os. The kernel consists of gnumach and Hurd
servers running on top of that kernel.
Take a look at
uname -a
GNU hurd-sid 0.9 GNU-Mach 1.8+git20170609-486-dbg/Hurd-0.9 i686-AT386
GNU
uname -s (kernel-name) This might be misleading
GNU
uname -r (kernel-release)
0.9
uname -v (kernel version)
GNU-Mach 1.8+git20170609-486-dbg/Hurd-0.9
uname -o (operating system)
GNU
On GNU/Linux you have:
uname -a
Linux z97-4790k 4.9.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.10-1 (2017-02-17)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
uname -s
Linux
uname -r
4.9.0-2-amd64
uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 4.9.10-1 (2017-02-17)
uname -o
GNU/Linux
