>That's because it doesn't have the traditional Linux user space, but instead has its own user space that sits atop a somewhat non-standard Linux kernel.

Great to know that Linux has/had user space. That is why some people insist on calling the full OS as GNU/Linux so that people won't forget the name of the user space they are using and write correctly in the articles they are writing!

PS: I have seen FSF websites writing Android/Linux acknowledging the fact that Android has its own user space and Linux Kernel.
