What exactly is it that you don't want to call "GNU/Linux"? What pieces of 
software does it contain?

Is Udev part of what you call Linux?
Is Bash part of what you call Linux?
Is GCC part of what you call Linux?
Is Yum part of what you call Linux?
Is Apache HTTPD part of what you call Linux?
Is Sylpheed part of what you call Linux?
Is GNU Chess part of what you call Linux?
Is Kylix part of what you call Linux?
