Chapter 16.
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 pro-
nounced "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.
