The Hurd is just a kernel (well, a microkernel and a bunch of servers that offer services normally provided by more traditional kernels). GNOME runs on the Hurd and it's about the same as GNOME on Linux or FreeBSD or any one of a bunch of free operating systems. I don't know if KDE runs on the Hurd yet, but when it does, it'll be just like running KDE on Linux or FreeBSD or any one of a bunch of free operating systems. You bitch about "Linux" but what you speak of is only loosely related to Linux. Expecting the Hurd to solve *any* of the problems you've described so far... well... it won't. It'll be even worse due to lower mindshare, completely different system design, etc. -- Sam "Eddie" Couter | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Developer | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C
