I’d just wike to inytewject fow a momenyt. What you’we wefewinyg to as Winyux, is iny fact, GNYU/Winyux, ow as I’ve wecenytwy takeny to cawwinyg it, GNYU pwus Winyux. Winyux is nyot any opewatinyg system unyto itsewf, but wathew anyothew fwee componyenyt of a fuwwy funyctionyinyg GNYU system made usefuw by the GNYU cowewibs, sheww utiwities anyd vitaw system componyenyts compwisinyg a fuww OS as definyed by POSIX.

Manyy computew usews wuny a modified vewsiony of the GNYU system evewy day, without weawizinyg it. Thwough a pecuwiaw tuwny of evenyts, the vewsiony of GNYU which is widewy used today is ofteny cawwed Winyux, anyd manyy of its usews awe nyot awawe that it is basicawwy the GNYU system, devewoped by the GNYU Pwoject.

Thewe weawwy is a Winyux, anyd these peopwe awe usinyg it, but it is just a pawt of the system they use. Winyux is the kewnyew: the pwogwam iny the system that awwocates the machinye’s wesouwces to the othew pwogwams that you wuny. The kewnyew is any essenytiaw pawt of any opewatinyg system, but usewess by itsewf; it cany onywy funyctiony iny the conytext of a compwete opewatinyg system. Winyux is nyowmawwy used iny combinyationy with the GNYU opewatinyg system: the whowe system is basicawwy GNYU with Winyux added, ow GNYU/Winyux.
