The Hurd also isn't a kernel, but a set of servers to be run on top of a kernel. I also don't think it is developed as an alternative to the linux kernel. Saying this gives people the wrong expectations, IMHO. But it certainly can be used as an alternative :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
