When Linus Torvalds was asked in the documentary Revolution OS whether  the name GNU/Linux was justified, he replied: Well, I think it's  justified, but it's justified if you actually make a GNU distribution  of Linux ... the same way that I think that Red Hat Linux is fine,  or SuSE Linux or Debian Linux, because if you actually make your  own distribution of Linux, you get to name the thing, but calling  Linux in general GNU Linux I think is just ridiculous.I don't understand what Linus Torvalds meant here. Can we really make GNU a distribution of Linux?
Can the GNU Project be seen as a distribution of Linux?
linux;gnu
