Calling the whole system "Linux" leads people to think that the system's development was started in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. That is what most users seem to think. The occasional few users that do know about the GNU Project often think we played a secondary role - for example, they say to me, 'Of course I know about GNU - GNU developed some tools that are part of Linux.' (Richard Stallman)
