GNU Userland

Represents a series of programs developed under the GNU umbrella, that are designed to be completely open source.

The GNU umbrella encompasses a wide range of programs beyond the basic userland, and is the most common userland for Linux Distributions (commonly referred to as GNU/Linux) - thoug most distributions will also ship with a wide range of non-GNU software.

For our purposes, the core concerns are:

• bash
• coreutils
• emacs
• GCC
• glibc
• GRUB
• gzip
• inetutils
• sh
