What is GNU/Linux?
In 1991, Linus Torvalds began writing the program for an operating system kernel which he called Linux. At that time the GNU Project was searching for a kernel to render the GNU system operational while wainting for its own kernel, Hurd, to be developped. Thus the Linux kernel became a component of the GNU system. This combined system is called GNU/Linux.
