I suppose you mean GNU/Hurd. GNOME is the application suite running on X11, and there have been problems getting X to run on GNU/Hurd at all. > 1) Is HURD working for SMP (2 Intel Pentiums 200)? No. There is some SMP support in GNUmach, but that hasn't been tested for a long time and I've read it doesn't even compile any more. I don't think anyone is trying to fix it. Yesterday, Roland McGrath announced OSKit-Mach: a GNUmach variant which uses OSKit device drivers. I don't know if those drivers make any difference in SMP support, and it certainly isn't for newbies. But take a look if you're interested. His message was <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on bug-hurd. > 2) Can I still using Loadlin and initrd.img or something GNU/Hurd requires a bootloader which supports the Multiboot standard. I believe GRUB is the only one right now. But you could have both GRUB and Loadlin in the same computer. > 3) Building a monolite kernel without problems using a SCSI system I don't understand. Mach is supposed to be a microkernel.
