only the base. the rest of android is not.

Reply after reply after reply, you still don't get it - even
though it's been explained clearly to you. Linux *IS JUST THE*
kernel of "desktop Linux" which is properly called GNU/Linux.
Android and Chrome OS are just as much what is correctly called
"Linux" as Ubuntu/ etc. are. Linux was never imagined to be a
complete implementation of Unix, that's where "GNU" and other
components come in. So, you could say that Android isn't Unix,
but not that it isn't Linux.

What does Linus Torvalds say about Android vs Linux?


I didn't ask him. I'm quite sure he would acknowledge that Linux
is a kernel, though, since that's what he designed it to be.


Que nospam informing us all that Linus would be using the wrong
definition to kernel. G
