- bashinator 13y agoA distribution of an operating system, is itself, also an operating system.
- andreasvc 13y agoEh... it is more correct to call a distribution an OS than to call a kernel an OS; the kernel is only a component.
- rcxdude 13y agoThis depends. technically linux isn't an OS, just a kernel (hence the whole GNU/linux stuff). But even the GNU + linux isn't really a full OS. I feel calling a distribution an OS is pretty valid (though it is a member of the linux family and based off of debian). I guess the main thing would be the OS is everything which isn't an application, and Tails is definitely not a single application, though it is specialised.
