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