GNU always has as its primary goal that of providing portable system-level
tools.  For a long time, Linux was the kernel and GNU provided most of the
actual environment in the distribution.

However, at some point the momentum built up until "Linux" as a concept
took off, and then everybody kind of forgot about GNU and the GNU environment
and philosophy... then they forgot about the Unix environment and philosophy...
now it is just a mess.
