Well, I guess that depends very much on the definition of an OS. IMVHO a
kernel (Linux of kFreeBSD in case of Debian) plus the GNU tools can
already be called an OS.
Sure, it *can*, and in 1993 it was.
Everything else (X, DE, ...) is optional. And
let's not start about busybox, yes? ;)
For most users, they are as optional as sheets are "optional" on a
mattress.
