But GNU isn't the whole system either. A typical distibution
contains the work of a lot of other projects and companies as
well. Just to name a few: BSD, X11, SUN, IBM. I think you should
call it GNU/X11/BSD/SUN/IBM/Linux. I admit that GNU forms a big
part of the distribution so I guess that GNU&Friends/Linux is also
fine, if you are in a hurry.

PS: Sorry to all the other projects I forgot mentioning just now.
I had to stop somewhere. But please inform me if you insist on
being on that list.
