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, such as the Bash command shell interpreter, the Emacs text editor, and the GNOME desktop environment.
