GNU is Not Unix

The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX operating system which is free software: the GNU system. (GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not UNIX”; it is pronounced “guh-noo.”)

Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as “Linux”, some say they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems because of the suite of GNU tools they use.

make

Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program’s source files.

Make gets its knowledge of how to build your program from a file called the makefile, which lists each of the non-source files and how to compute it from other files. When you write a program, you should write a makefile for it, so that it is possible to use Make to build and install the program.

Emacs

Emacs is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display text editor.
