In the 1980's Richard Stallman liked unix but wanted to fix his printer. This caused him to create the GNU project. It's goal was to make a free (libre) version of unix. in the 1990's Linus Torvalds took Richards work and added his kernel and thus Gnu/Linux was born. They are both similar as they are based on POSIX. Richard wanted an all free (libre) version of Gnu/Linux and ian murdock started debian. Debian is now 11 years old! This is only a basic history.
