List of GNU packages

This list of GNU packages lists notable software packages developed for or maintained by the Free Software Foundation for GNU, a Unix-like computer operating system composed entirely of free software. Many of these software packages are today included as part of typical Linux distributions.

Base system

Notes

# Stable versions. Note that some distros (e.g Gentoo) use some development versions in case the stable versions are a bit old.
# Note that GRUB does not have a stable version, since the program itself is unstable, although many distros use it as default.
# Note that HURD is under active development. Because of that, there is no 'stable' version. The Hurd is distributed through version control systems.(cvs)
