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.

Well, looks like conversation is impossible then. Unless you have better sources, those two words are not 100% the same. Anarchism is a specific word, coming from the greek anarkhia, meaning "without a ruler". Libertarianism, on the contrary, is a more broad word, since liberta is latin for "freedom".
This is not about the dictionary, but about historical movements/strains of thought. The french "socialisme libertaire" is the term they used in 18th century France. And libertarian socialism aims for the freedom of all people from rulers.
