Yesterday I grabbed the cvs of gnumach, mig and hurd, and discovered there was a "GNU HURD Reference Manual". Allthough it doesn't go into the mach, it got me excited enough to ignore my need for sleep.. What I want to do is switch to hurd on my toys and se what I can do to help out there. I had partly thought about looking at smp, since I have a two processor PII at home, but from what I understand, hurd is allready multithreaded into it's spine.. > If you've never touched it, I'd probably recommend Linux. > Afterwards, hit the Hurd. But there are that big differences that learning linux wouldn't help me that nuch in understanding the hurd? Regards, EOF
