>> When exactly did GNU ship a complete OS?
I want to say around 2006 or 2007 was the first time a 'normal' *nix hacker could install and boot[0] a complete GNU OS[1] and get something resembling work done (ie edit and compile C code in vi or emacs).
[0] without having to to a bunch of bootstrapping steps and other hackery
[1] Technically 'shipped' by Debian rather than GNU/FSF
