-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Following the flame war on debian-devel about the Hurd, I installed it to get an opinion by myself, as I don't have prior experience about micro-kernels. So, I managed to install it alright, ... but I can't boot it !!! The statement by Linus 10 years back is still valid. What the purpose to have a new design, a micro-kernel and whatever if it is not even remotely useable ? Developpers have managed to compile half of Debian packages, but they did not even think to provide a way to boot it ! Installation of Grub is not even available from the CD. And once installed from Linux, I can boot Linux with Grub, so Grub by itself is OK. I have tried quite a lot of Linux distributions (probably more than 30 different flavours, altogether), however I didn't ever see anything as bad as this. And you say that development of the Hurd started in the 80s ? Pffff ! Even my first RedHat was better that this. A bit of thinking about that would be great from the Hurd people.
