Off course it is cool to run the Hurd! ;) You should try it out, especially if you are bored. The installer feels the same as the one for linux, so it is rather straightforward. While I had issues with some installer images, the last one from February worked pretty well (I only had some issues when choosing several locales). I have not run the system for long enough to see any file system corruption. The file system is ext2, so you will get the typical fsck run after a hard shutdown (I have seen X hang after some time of inactivity, and was unable to go back to the console). > How old is the card?

On linux it works with the b44 driver, but I don't know if that is included in netdde. Regards, João
