20 <para>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small
21 executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU
22 fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
23 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the
24 expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides
25 a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.</para>
