I think it's just because of the name of this mailing list, debian-hurd When you create newsgroups for debian mailing lists, you create them under linux.debian section, so comp.os.linux.debian.hurd. And on the debian website, the web pages for debian-hurd are http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd But you are right, most of computer users doesn't think Hurd is a different OS. > I've found this acronym in other places like newsgroups and so > (comp.os.linux.debian.hurd) and i feel that we should do something > to inform other computer users (and specially GNU/Linux users) > and tell them that this is a different and complete operating system. > > regards, -- Thomas Poindessous EpX asso GNU/Linux de l'Epita [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.epita.fr/~epx
