I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, Curl/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Curl plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning Curl system made useful by libcurl, curl commandline
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Daniel.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Curl system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Curl
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the Curl system, developed by the Curl Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the Curl operating system: the whole system
is basically Curl with Linux added, or Curl/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of Curl/Linux.
