What is there to disagree about? The operating system is called GNU,
it has always been called that. And I am not even going to bother
bring up the whole issue about Linux being a kernel and such. :)
What I think you might be thinking about is the Hurd (the GNU Hurd),
which is just a set of libraries, utilities and translators. But this
is not the operating system.
