Hello,
I wonder if any one out there has any knowledge of GNU's HURD.
I was told about this a couple of days ago, so I appologise if I am horribly
out of date !
I e-mailed GNU with some questions, but they have failed to answer, so I
thought the next most knowledgeable people are your selves.
Is the running alongside the Linux kernel development ? I assume not since
there references to Linux weren't not what I considered complimentary !
Does GNU consult Linus ? or indeed does Linus consult GNU ? about each others
development.
I understand that Debian are using the HURD and that it is completely
'compatible' with all Linux apps., desktops etc. Is this compatible in the same
way that led to Solaris, SCO, HP-UX etc !
The GNU site said that it was completely modular (components to use their
terminology) while they said that the Linux kernel was some what outdated and
monolithic. Will any HURD improvements in modularization be carried across
into the mainstream Linux kernel ? Indeed will there be any cross pollenisation
of ideas ?
Will HURD eventually replace the current Linux kernel ?
Does anybody have the answers !?!?!?!?
Owen
