Sometime on Feb 28, stanley assembled some asciibets to say:

not true. see the linux router project. it is almost entirely kernel based. there are many uses of linux that do not require anything other than the kernel. embedded devices for example. gnu utils help us manage the system, they provide a user interface, but are not required where no interface is required.
