   it's in all BSD variants and all Linux variants.

Linux doesn't provide this function, what you are refering to is
called the GNU system.  Many people don't know about the GNU system,
and the GNU project and what it does.  You can help us spread that
knowledge by talking about GNU when you talk about GNU-powered
software distributions (a la GNU/Linux instead of just Linux).
