	I guess I wasn't clear.  Although currently available for free, HURD
is apparently not really stable enough to be considered a product.  OSF/1
while very stable in commercial binary implementations is not yet free.  If
the claim is a 'free, source available, unix compatible, micro-kernel based'
OS, then they are both vaporware.
