      Please show me my response to that and let's get back to the REAL subject you;re avoiding the Linux Kernel

      That's been covered thoroughly. We are waiting for you to figure out what you got wrong, contact the sources you have (that don't exist) and send us their responses. The ball is in your court. As I said, asking us to do anything further to contact your sources and correct them (or to show that they agreed) is the same as admitting you made it up.

      Awesome you have no balls, sorry about that, THE LINUX KERNEL MY MAN WHAT ABOUT THAT DUDE?

      He already asked you how you use the Kernel. But you never answered.

      Ignorant question, I said to tell at LEAST Linux.com they are stupid for saying it's an OS BUT YOU FAILED TO DO SO = NO BALLS

      This is the standard pattern. A simple question, you say you'll prove something, we say "okay, prove it", then... gibberish answer as to why you suddenly don't know what a kernel is. As expected.

        How about that email address to the printer programming company? They will definitely want to see this thread.

                So you screenshotted something that I said, that you said was wrong, to show that YOU know the answer? I know what a kernel is. You said that Linux is an OS, not the kernel. So since Linux is not the kernel, what kernel are YOU talking about? I know which one I am talking about.

                        I'm going to assume you're talking about thin provisioning. Yes, you can thin provision logical volumes.

                          You said a kernel. And what is a "written kernel." So if you didn't mean a kernel, what did you mean when you said you would show me up on using the kernel?

                            but IS NOT A KERNEL it is and OS Unix is a Kernel with NO UI or GUI you ignorant f[moderated]

                            Now now, you seem a little upset. I'm just repeating what you said.

                            I'm writing this to you from a Linux system with a GUI. Which part is wrong. Is it not Linux? Is it not a GUI? Do you need a screenshot? The community is full of Linux GUI screenshots. UI, GUI... all write here that I am typing on.

                            AGAIN..... totally non-plausible lies.

                              It seems I'll have to email these sites to confirm Linux is NOT an Operating and is ONLY a Kernel as a system as Scott Stated, I'll do so on Monday.

                                  You could always do it now, just program the email. Then use the GUI on the Kernel to hit the send button.

                                    It seems? That seems odd. How was it not totally clear. You go do that. Send them the link to this thread, we want them to participate. It would be best if the discussion was totally in public. If they feel that Linux is the OS, rather than the kernel, they should be happy to post here and explain why.

                                      Yeah, email works around the clock... unless you were planning on sending this from your BBS system and your time slot hasn't come up yet.

                                      I'm waiting on the email address for Offix right now, I'll email them right this second if you provide it. You asked me to reach out to them, but I dont want to call them now and just leave a message. But I'll email straight away,

                                            Now email them and ell them that Linux is a Kernel, if not I'll bring this thread to their attention to correct you. I mean windows has a Kernel too right?
                                            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_kernel

                                            Linux is a Kernel like Windows with a UI or GUI

                                            Unix is much different except Apple OSX is written over top of a Unix Kernel. C'mon man WTF is wrong with you

                                            OS X is based on NextStep, which is based on BSD which is based on UNIX. Similar to Linux, there are different flavors like FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD.

                                            Here's some simplified chart to show you the relations between and origins of Linux, BSD and OS X:
