BusyBox

In Computing, BusyBox is a program combining many standard Unix utilities into a single small executable. It is intended to replace the GNU fileutils suite in a single-floppy disk or embedded Linux system. It is free software, licensed under the GNU GNU General Public License.

BusyBox is The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux.

BusyBox was originally written by Bruce Perens in 1996. The goal was to put a complete bootable system on a single floppy that would be both a rescue disk and an installer for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It has since then become the De facto standard for Embedded Linux devices and Linux distribution installers.

Today project lead is Erik Andersen.
