While it hasn't been confirmed by Nintendo, others have reported that the Wii uses a proprietary version of the Linux kernel, designed in-house by Nintendo. Although Linux is an open-source OS, keep in mind that the Wii is still a closed system, a license is required to develop for it, and it is programmed only to execute signed code. An un-hacked Wii will not run any old Linux program you may have lying around.

Assuming that you mean the difference between system software (the term used by Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to refer to the operating systems used by the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii respectively) and operating system, the difference is very minor.
