* GNU Operating System - [[Free Software Foundation]]
* Free as in Freedom
The GNU Project was launched in [[1984]] to develop a complete [[Unix|UNIX]] style [[:Category:Operating Systems|operating system]] which is [[free software]]: the GNU system. (GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not UNIX"; it is pronounced "guh-noo".)
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.

To find out what the GNU community is doing nowadays, you can visit this large unofficial [http://www.nabble.com/Gnu-f1458.html GNU Forum] hosted by [http://www.nabble.com Nabble]. This forum archives many GNU projects' mailing lists into a forum for easy browsing and unified search. It has a fairly complete list of GNU projects. You can drill into each project to browse, or search the postings by keyword and see what the GNU people are talking about.
