What is Linux?

 Linux is a UNIX clone written from scratch by Linus Benedict Torvalds in 1991 with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net.

It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged UNIX, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management and TCP/IP networking. Linux is distributed under GNU.

What is GNU?

 GNU stands for “Gnu is Not Unix“, a free software movement started by Richard Stallman to provide free quality and software.

With his famous 1983 manifesto that declared the beginnings of the GNU project, he started a movement to create and distribute software that conveyed his philosophy.
