GNU
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GNU is the name of a computer operating system. The name is short for GNU's Not Unix. The project works on GNU is known as the GNU Project, which is led by Richard Stallman.
People have been working on GNU since 1983, but it is still not done. The central part of the operating system, called the kernel, is still not done, and lots of people use the Linux kernel instead. Software that runs on the GNU system often has been made for other computer software systems like Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
