Maybe I did not express myself correctly, but I was only using the numbering as an indication for stability and maturity. Hurd does not have a stable release yet, and when it does it will be much less mature than the current Linux (or even perhaps a Linux kernel version some time back). And judging by the time the Hurd is progressing in comparison to the time Linux does, one can assume a similar situation will always prevail. > btw, did anybody ACTUALLY try The Hurd?
