Quite interesting argument
Long back when i was introduced to Linux philosophy , the first teachings
was that don't call it as linux , call it as Gnu Linux .
That's the reason behind calling it as GLUGS .
Please correct me if I am wrong in this front.

Quoting from the final link
Why do you call it GNU/Linux and not Linux?
Most operating system distributions based on Linux as kernel are
basically modified versions of the GNU operating system. We began
developing GNU in 1984, years before Linus Torvalds started to write
his kernel. Our goal was to develop a complete free operating system.
Of course, we did not develop all the parts ourselves?but we led the
way. We developed most of the central components, forming the largest
single contribution to the whole system. The basic vision was ours
too.
In fairness, we ought to get at least equal mention.
See Linux and the GNU Project and GNU Users Who Have Never Heard of
GNU for more explanation, and The GNU Project for the history.
