He created a kernel. If you really think he created an operating 
system, I'd love you to show me it.

Here are the original, non-free kernel sources.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/linux-0.01.tar.gz

Here's a slightly later version

Please, do show me the Operating System he wrote.

Sure we are. If you think we should promote proprietary software, 
I think you should do it somewhere else.
