But FreeBSD is an operating system. The userland and kernel are developed together, in the same source tree AFAIK. With Linux you have to glue a user land on to use the kernel, which is a "distribution" which is actually an operating system.

Agreed? I thought we were talking about Linux

Linux is a Kernel...like you said, are you talking about
gnu/linux
musl/gnu/linux
musl/busybox/linux
libc++/uClibc/glibc/musl/busybox/matchbox/gnu/rpm/deb/tar.gz
any other distro/composition of software that runs on linux? You see the problem? Linux is a kernel, FreeBSD/Open/Net/Dragonfly are real OS's...with pkg's.

The grandparent of my post was:
>> FreeBSD's point of distinction is that it's carefully designed and fitted together, compared to Linux's comparatively heavy use of glue.
To which was offered:
> Well Linux is just a kernel, so it's a bit unfair to call it glued together...but the rest (a ditro)...lot of glue and clay...sometimes also pure mud.
So I pointed out that it is fair to call it glued together, because there's no other way to use Linux except with glue. This is applicable to any of GNU/Linux, Busybox/Linux, etc.
