GNU is a free operating system modeled after AT&T's UNIX, originally announced by Dr. Richard Stallman on September 27th, 1983 on the net.unix-wizards newsgroup.[1]. It is not the name of any one program, but the collective group of all the utilities required to provide the user a fully-functional operating environment.
