i think it's standard practice to call a linux distro an OS. centos does it, so does debian ("the universal operating system"), and more recently, coreos.

- agwa 12y agoThe most obvious example of why Debian is an OS, not a "Linux distro," is because you can install the kfreebsd architecture and then you're not using Linux at all.
- beachstartup 12y agoright, but - is a linux distribution not an operating system? ever?
