| @unnumbered The GNU Project and GNU/Linux |
| |
| The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like |
| operating system which is free software: the GNU system. (GNU is a |
| recursive acronym for ``GNU's Not Unix''; it is pronounced |
| ``guh-NEW''@.) Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the |
| kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often |
| referred to as ``Linux'', they are more accurately called GNU/Linux |
| systems. |
