For Unix, where can I find GNU software packages?

You may download the source files for GNU software, such as Emacs, gcc, bash, and texinfo, from GNU's FTP server. This site is very busy; if your download is slow, you may have better luck with one of the mirror sites listed on the GNU FTP Mirror List. Look for a site close to you.

At Indiana University, UITS maintains a mirror of GNU software packages.

You may also obtain GNU software on CD-ROM. GNU has order forms at the Free Software Foundation Online Shop.

A list of the GNU software packages, with descriptions and links to online manuals, is available at the GNU Operating System web site.
