If you write a kernel without using any linux code at all

and without using any GPL libraries you may have a new OS. Until then you have a linux distro. Say you modified linux so it is only a firewall and nothing else, then wrote new code to make this the most wonderful firewall ever, its still gnu/linux, your particular distro.

I love her dearly, far beyond any creature I've ever known, and I can prove it, for never once in almost seventy years of married life have I taken her by the throat. Mind you, it's been a near thing once or twice.
