+<h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3>
+
+
+BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
+small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you
+usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
+generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however,
+the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave
+very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete
+environment for any small or embedded system.
+
+<p>
+
+BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
+mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude
+commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize
+your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device
+nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.
+
