Wow! I never realized how slow Hurd development was. It uses ext2 and the 2.6 kernel. The speaker makes a lot out of being able to run a lot of system tools without having to use sudo. It seems to me that what they have implemented is about the same as running Linux as root. They've JUST STARTED 64bit development, and it has no USB or sound support, but they got the 64 bit Hurd kernel to boot. A speaker and a dozen listeners. The excitement level was so low it could be mistaken for a convention of undertakers."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

I'd love to be able to see an alternate universe in which the Linux kernel was released after HURD, or not at all.
I remember reading that development of HURD just died when Linus released Linux. I wonder how successful HURD would have been.Comment
