I don't know what kind of suggestions you want, but if you are looking for experience with FOSS Unix, then _don't_ start with the HURD. It is not really a viable operating system yet. It is very far short of even being ready for alpha-test, let alone beta-test. This is a version 0.5 product. When something is getting ready to launch, they tend to call it version 0.9 and when it's finished it becomes v1.0. This is only half way to being complete, and as it's taken some 25 years so far, it probably never will be ready. If you want an environment to try GNUstep on, I would suggest Debian Linux or Ubuntu, since there are packages already available. You can't install Philippe's packages on the HURD - they are Debian packages. You say that you do not use C so I would not even suggest trying to build from source. Pick a modern, working, supported Unix and use that. Not the HURD. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
