Nonsense. Embedded applications work directly on top of a kernel.
They require a bit more than a kernel to run, so no, they don't work
directly on top of a kernel. If you implement the operating system
directly in the kernel, then the kernel and operating are the same.
> GNU is one operating system that works with Linux,
More nonsense. Operating systems certainly require a kernel (in
fact, the standard Computer Science definition pretty much covers
_only_ the kernel unless we are talking Microkernel-based systems).
GNU without kernel is not an operating system.
Sure it is. The only nonsense is what you have said.
David, you really ought to go and take a CS class..
