   We just need to remove the "Linux" from GNU/Linux.   
      
   GNU was/is a project to develop a completely free (as in freedom   
   and not beer) Unix, and it has succeeded admirably except for a viable   
   OS.  Hence GNU selected Linux as its OS.   
      
   But GNU has an OS; it's called "Hurd."  It works but it cannot   
   yet compete with the functionality of Linux.  Even Dr. Richard   
   Stallman, the main protagonist of GNU, admits that the architecture   
   of Hurd was something of a mistake.   
      
   Hurd is still alive, if not kicking, however:

   I would love to see Hurd revitalized and to assume the role of   
   the GNU kernel, replacing Linux.   
      
   Then, with GNU as the steward, Unix would be totally free (as in freedom   
   and not beer).
