<h2 class="unnumbered">The GNU Project and GNU/Linux</h2>

<p>The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like
operating system which is free software: the GNU system.  (GNU is a
recursive acronym for &ldquo;GNU's Not Unix&rdquo;; it is pronounced
&ldquo;guh-NEW&rdquo;.)  Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the
kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often
referred to as &ldquo;Linux&rdquo;, they are more accurately called GNU/Linux
systems.
