BusyBox is a project that aims to provide a number of common Linux utilities (such as grep,ls,who,passwd,head,uname, and so on) in a single binary. This has the advantage of reducing the amount of space needed to store all these functions. As it is smaller than the standard tool package, it is used in ramdisks and in embedded systems where space is an issue.
