Years ago, Hurd was announced and everyone said "wow, great, a gnu os" Well, the years have passed by, and the Hurd is more vaporware like then any announcement from the Evil Empire in Redmond. In the mean time, two important developments have occured. First, linux has taken the world by storm. By all accounts, there are 1,000,000 of them. Second, OSF is making OSF/1, including its microkernel and a full xpg3 Unix subsystem available in source code, under an free, unrestricted license. It seems to be that time has passed by the Hurd. No one cares, and no one will use it if it ever becomes real. I think that is time to kill its development and move on to better things. -- ---- Art Kreitman Congruent Corporation artk@congruent.com 110 Greene Street 212-431-5100 New York, New York 10012 fax 219-1532
