Linux是GNU的软件的一部分,所有Linux操作系统严格意义上应该是GNU/Linux操作系统,Linux只是操作系统的内核名字!
The GNU Project and GNU/Linux
The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software: the GNU system. (GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix”; it is pronounced “guh-NEW”.) Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as “Linux”, they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems.
“GNU”是“GNU's Not Unix!”(GNU并非Unix!)的首字母递归缩写;它是g发音的单音节字,就像“grew”,但要用字母“n”替换掉“r”。也就是发音同"gnew"(葛怒)。
