In 1983, Richard Stallman announced Project [[GNU]], an ambitious effort to create a freely redistributable UNIX-like system. The software developed in this project -- such as GNU Emacs and gcc -- has gone on to play central roles in other free UNIX systems as well.<br />

Distributions of the kernel, GNU, and additional software -- such as Red Hat Linux and Debian GNU/Linux -- have become popular both with hobbyists and in business</div>Dr Kludge
