I'm GNU/Linux user since 1994, I don't know about GNU Hurd. This
GNU/Linux thing works for me. When I start hearing GNU Hurd is
getting better then I start looking it more closely for sure.

Hmmm... I do remember reading somewhere that it was 1984 when RMS
decided to have his own OS... It was few yours before GNU/Linux
was born...

Check out http://www.gnu.org/ for details about GNU Project and also
RMS personal website http://www.stallman.org/ is very nice reading.
There is material available more than you can read.
