- ekianjo 9y agoActually not, since these GNU tools could be used on BSD as well.
- ahoka 9y agoGNU tools? Original column and factor is older than the GNU project. Don't attribute everything to that bearded madman. GNU is mostly just a copycat of already free software.
- cyphar 9y agoMany GNU utilities provide extensions above and beyond the incredibly limited POSIX spec or more featured BSD, Solaris, etc utilities. Though a better title for this particular post would be "POSIX" utilities. > Don't attribute everything to that bearded madman. And yet the bearded madman has done a lot more than you probably have.
