I used to not care too much about the push for GNU/Linux but upon 
further reflection it does tend to denigrate the contributions of other 
significant developers.  A linux webserver depends just as much on 
Apache as it does on libc as it does on the linux kernel.

Maybe someone should start an "OSS/Linux" meme.
