    "a köznyelvben a linux alatt a disztribeket értjük általánosítva."
    Rendben, legyen igazad. A projekt vezetomet (Linus Benedict Torvalds) is felvilagositom, hogy ezzel legyen tisztaba, mert rosszul ertelmezi azt a valamit ami a sajat keresztnevet viseli 15 eve.

    "linux alatt nem a linux kernelt értjük, hanem azt a valamit ami egy (disztrib) cédérõl mindennel feltelepûl."

    A Linux az pont nem disztrib, hanem o a kernel.
    Itt a hivatalos allasfoglalas ebben a kerdesben:

    http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html

    "There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is not the operating system. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in a combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU, with Linux functioning as its kernel.
    Many users are not fully aware of the distinction between the kernel, which is Linux, and the whole system, which they also call ``Linux''.
    The ambiguous use of the name doesn't promote understanding. These users often think that Linus Torvalds developed the whole operating system in 1991, with a bit of help.
    Programmers generally know that Linux is a kernel. But since they have generally heard the whole system called ``Linux'' as well, they often envisage a history that would justify naming the whole system after the kernel. For example, many believe that once Linus Torvalds finished writing Linux, the kernel, its users looked around for other free software to go with it, and found that (for no particular reason) most everything necessary to make a Unix-like system was already available."

    Tehat a kernel itt "lakik": www.kernel.org
    A "disztribek" (disztributor = forgalmazo) itt "laknak" tobb szazaval: www.distrowatch.com

    Mint peldaul: RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, UHU, stb.

    Kulonbozo kernellel ellatot kiadasok, pl:
    GNU/Linux
    GNU/BSD
    GNU/OpenSolaris

    Es meglepodsz, de van ilyen is:
    GNU/Windows
    Sot, kulso szemlelokent eszre sem veszed!

    Amire pedig szeretnelek vegre ravezetni az az, hogy ezek egyike sem "Linux". Ezek gyujtoneve: "GNU".

    Ugyanazok a szoftverek futnak mindegyiken leszamitva a kernelt, aminek egy egyszeru felhasznalo szemszogebol kb. annyi jelentosege van mint egy autoba a visszapillantotukor gyartojanak.
