Z:gnu-www-ja-gnu-linux-faq--8fe456-We're not talking about a dist/en

We're not talking about a distinct GNU version of Linux, the kernel. The free GNU/Linux distros do have a separate version of Linux, since the &ldquo;standard&rdquo; version contains non-free firmware &ldquo;blobs&rdquo;. If this were part of the GNU Project, it could be considered &ldquo;GNU Linux&rdquo;; but we would not want to call it that, because it would be too confusing.
