Gnu

About

GNU is an operating system which is 100% free software.

It was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman (rms).

The GNU system contains:

  • all of the official GNU software packages,
  • and also includes non-GNU free software, notably TeX and the X Window System.

The GNU system is not a single static set of programs; users and distributors may select different packages according to their needs and desires. The result is still a variant of the GNU system.
