What a great question! Yes it would be nice to see Hurd finally get some luv. I noticed you never mentioned the core reason that makes Hurd different. You do know about microkernels? I guess the answer to what you think is better depends on your take of the micro vs. mono - kernel debate. cs -- KPLUG-LPSG@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
