What is GNU?

- GNU is an operating system and an extensive collection of software that forms part of what people refer to as the GNU plus Linux operating system (or erroneously just Linux).

- Richard Stallman announced the GNU project in 1983. The operating system was to be a free software replacement to the proprietary UNIX operating system.

- In 1992 the GNU operating system almost had the entirety of its components created, however one critical part was missing, the kernel. -

What is Linux?

- Linux is a kernel and is not an operating system unto itself, instead is a critical component in the GNU plus Linux operating system.

- Linus Torvalds began development on the Linux kernel in 1991 after frustrations relating to the MINIX licensing at the time. The Linux kernel was originally licensed to prohibit commercial redistribution.

- In 1992 Linus liberated his kernel relicensing it under the GNU GPL. Now under a free licence and considered free software, the Linux kernel and GNU operating system, along with it's extensive collection of software can pair in a mutually beneficial relationship. -

Combined, they form an entire operating system as defined by POSIX known as GNU plus Linux.
