OS is more than a kernel and some drivers. Unless you would consider Android, Palm's WebOS, Nokia's various OSs, Arch and Ubuntu to all be equivalent.

- glymor 17y agoAll the "OS"s in the article run GNU userland, X windows, webkit or gecko browsers. So yes they are the same operating system. They just have different applications in different configurations. Android is it's own operating system. It has own user space and GUI technology. But the article didn't mention it.
