I don't have much occasion to talk about a subset that is more than a
kernel and less than a distribution with real applications so I'm not
sure where or why such a name would be used. I asked about that before
but didn't get any compelling answers. While I understand roughly the
scope of what GNU/Linux would encompass, there's really no such specific
distribution that I know of, and there wouldn't be much reason to use it
on its own unless you just like to live in emacs.
