%SECTION0{name=HistoryOfLinux}% History of Linux (Part Three)

   * In September 1983 _Richard Stallman_ started the *GNU* project to build complete free operating
     system.
     <p></p>
   * As it was a voluntary project, he chose Unix as a model so coordination of
     contributors would be easier.
     <p></p>
   * Stallman wrote *Emacs*, *GCC* and *GDB* as a foundation
     <p></p>
   * Many volunteers contributed GPLd rewrites of Unix utilities (make, vi, sed, awk, etc.)
     <p></p>
   * Most of the GNU project was done by 1992 - last thing missing: a kernel
     <p></p>
   * *FSF* started work on *The Hurd*, a micro-kernel architecture based on *Mach* kernel
