GNU (pronounced 'g-noo') is a Unix-like computer operating system developed through the GNU Project, with the ultimate goal of becoming a "complete Unix-compatible software system". Richard Stallman first started developing GNU in 1983, and it was originally the centerpiece of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), but no stable release of GNU had come out as of November 2010.
GNU is an abbreviation of the English sentence "GNU's Not UNIX", meaning "GNU is not Unix", and is a recursive acronym that contains itself in the original sentence. Stallman suggests pronouncing GNU as 'g-noo'. Unix was already a widely used proprietary software operating system, and since the Unix architecture had been proven technically reliable, the GNU system was made to be compatible with Unix. The Unix architecture allows individual components to be written separately. It also had the advantage of being able to use already publicly available software such as the typesetting software TeX and the X Window System.
