GNU

What's GNU? GNU is Not Unix! The GNU operating system was started in 1983 by Richard Stallman. The most common use of the GNU OS today is with the Linux kernel. To help clarify the inclusion of Linux with GNU, we refer to the system as a whole as GNU/Linux, although this is often known as simply 'Linux'.

GNU users who have never heard of GNU is a useful article to read if you are unfamiliar with GNU.
