Ok, thanks to all for your replies. Debian team has released the 2013 Debian/Hurd OS and I downloaded it. During this week-end i will install a program to virtualize OSs on my Mac, because I don't want to test the Hurd on my IBM t43p (1GB RAM 80GB hdd 1.87 GHz). And if it works well, I will try to install GNUstep on it, and when I have errors, I post them here, and if it can easily solved you tell me what to do otherwise I'll wait until someone find and give me a solution. (Because I have only programmed(?) in BASIC and written some Forth commands, I'm poor in C or anything like) But… I want to learn so I'm motivated(?).
PS: I'm thinking of buying a new laptop with a quick processor and a IDE hdd or IDE ssd(if it exists!) and 1866MHz 4GB RAM, but I haven't any idea which one to choose nor where. I'm open to suggestions. > Hi, > > it is/was posisble. After this article, GNUstep got unreliable gain.
