Well, here for sure GNU/Linux is more precise, but imho the question is to be 
answered according to what are we looking for.
Meeting the needs of people and spreading free software or pleasing ourselves 
as 'free' software advocates ? 
I mean it's not really important if people ear about Linux or Gnu/Linux , if 
they care about it they'll soon learn that it's Gnu/Linux (in fact) , and 
people being interested in changing their operating systems (due to "love at 
1st sight" ;-) ) will not need this kind of debates.
I'd rather thing that ideas and projects like helping them in every way 
possible is what we should be inclined to (e.g :
