*pretends to know what Linux is*
Linux is the kernel used by GNU operating system because their kernel is not complete yet (after all these years....). Linux was originally written to serve as a UNIX terminal emulator, because it's author Linus Torvalds found it funny how Minix (a UNIX-based OS) couldn't connect to a UNIX server. Eventually he realized that he nearly made an operating system in the process, so he added a few things and got an OS of some sort out of it. It has evolved a lot since then and is now the most portable kernel known to man.
At least that's as far as I know.
