Everyone's going to have a different answer to this, but here's mine. It is not at all certain that the Hurd will replace Unix and Linux. The Hurd has a very different underlying design from Linux, so they will both be better at some things and worse at others. Therefore, I expect Linux or something similar to live long after the Hurd becomes useful.
I suggest you study the parts of GNU that are common to Hurd and Linux, such as the GNU C Library, development tools applications, and the Debian system. NT should be learned on an as-needed basis, IMO. Best -John > Hi, I'm Dion E. Viglione, a 1st-year Computer Science major. My school > is using the GNU-linux operating system (Red Hat).
