Programmers generally know that Linux is a kernel. But since they have generally heard the whole system called &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; as well, they often envisage a history that would justify naming the whole system after the kernel. For example, many believe that once Linus Torvalds finished writing Linux, the kernel, its users looked around for other free software to go with it, and found that (for no particular reason) most everything necessary to make a Unix-like system was already available.
