I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Jinux, is in fact, JNU/Jinux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, JNU plus Jinux. Jinux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning JNU system made useful by the JNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the JNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of JNU which is widely used today is often called Jinux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the JNU system, developed by the JNU Project.
There really is a Jinux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Jinux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Jinux is normally used in combination with the JNU operating system: the whole system is basically JNU with Jinux added, or JNU/Jinux. All the so-called Jinux distributions are really distributions of JNU/Jinux!
