GNU is a Unix-like operating system created and funded by the Free Software Foundation. One of the goals of the Free Software Foundation was an operating system composed entirely of free software. Many pieces, such as shells, utilities, and compilers were created for this purpose. The GNU operating system has yet to be fully completed, due to slow development and debates about design goals. Most of the programs created for GNU have been ported to other kernels and operating systems, most notably Linux.
Note: This question refers to an operating system. For the animal, see 'What is a gnu?' in the Related questions section below.
A gnu. Another name for a gnu is a wildebeest, which is a type of antelope.
Open GNU is a free software system that allows users to adapt the software to specific parameters. Applications like Openoffice are part of the Open GNU system.
GNU is a Free Software project which is essential to the Linux operating system. It is a project that provides and distributes a lot of the software which is essential to making a fully-functional operating system distribution based upon the Linux kernel. For example, the Linux tools/commands that allow you to enter and run commands, copy files from one directory to another, compress and uncompress files, search for strings within text files, and mount and unmount filesystems are all GNU-provided tools. In short, GNU is a project which provides a major portion of the base Linux operating system - besides Linux itself which is the kernel and is provided by a separate project. It does not however provide the entire rest of the operating system; primarily just the type of basic tools mentioned above (although a very lot of them). Some GNU software has also been ported to run on other operating systems also. Some people refer to the Linux operating system as GNU/Linux to reflect the major contribution which GNU provides to that operating system.
yes the utilities comes from OS An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux(same thing) There's: Red hat, Ubuntu, LFS(Linux from scratch) and many others
