New GNU Hurd Kernel Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-just-chewing-their-cud dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "I don't know if there is much interest out there, but GNU Mach Kernel 1.3 was just released a couple days ago. (May 28)." Looking forward to that 2002 release...

  1. Hurd is like Itanium by Junks+Jerzey · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Neat? Yes. High tech. Yes? But so completely different what everyone is used to using that no one cares. Or at least no one expects it to be a replacement for the status quo.

    You're right, but at the rate of Hurd development, we'll be seeing something that's "10 times better" around the year 2035, by which point it won't matter.

  3. maybe now RMS... by Roadmaster · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    hopefully as the HURD evolves, RMS will be able to migrate to that and stop his hypocritical use of the Linux kernel.

    How two-sided his posture turned out to be, first using Linux to create the first complete GNU system some 8 years before he could have done the same with his own kernel, then turning violently on both Linus and the Linux community for not living up to his high moral standards.

    Hope he goes the HURD way and stops trying to impose himself on Linux users.

    Wonder what ever happened to the demon linux project, an attempt to build a complete linux-based system with BSD utilities, as opposed to GNU.

    Ah hell, we can always go the BSD route for everything I guess.

    If you haven't provided and support or code to the project,I hardly see how you have a basis for mocking/complaining about the progression.

    A basis for complaining or mocking? Please. Its called freedom. If someone sees something worth scorn, its their right to unleash it. For all the puffery of RMS and his short sighted ideology towards Linux (Fuck the GNU/Linux business), to have HURD after 8-10 years of development to be nothing more than a crash test dummy kernel is worth a ton of scorn. Maybe if RMS would get off his moral hobby horse and spent that time putting down code, maybe he would not be the laughing stock of the Open Source movement. Even Linus is getting into the act of laughing at RMS.

    Linus is a do-er, RMS is a talker. I respect do-ers.
