From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not quite. Those are trackers: lists of bugs. If you open one, you'll see a list of individual package bugs that are blocking these ones—up to a couple of dozen unresolved in some cases. Still, it isn't that long a list, and a lot of the packages are minor or obscure.
Ah. Thanks.
