send(args['nick'] + ": I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, \
or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, \
but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, \
shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.")
send("Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. \
Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called 'Linux', \
and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. \
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.")
send("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 combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, \
or GNU/Linux. All the so-called 'Linux' distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.")
