An anonymous reader writes "Richard Stallman has written a piece on the state of free software and where it needs to go now, in celebration of GNU turning 20 today. It's available both on NewsForge and Linux.com."
So, was the Hurd mentioned as the new GNU kernel that Stallman still wants to use? I mean, Linux is supposed to be replaced by the Hurd, any day now...

That's the beauty of the GPL, every version of Hurd that I run is forked from the latest linux. I just search replace "linux" with "hurd" in all the files and I am running a state of the art hurd kernel for my GNU system.

The first line reads: "It was twenty years ago today that I quit my job at MIT to begin developing a free software operating system, GNU."
Did anyone else start thinking up new lyrics to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band when they read that first sentence? Perhaps a new Free Software Song is in the making....
Hmm, I guess this would go better with the 2.4.24 release.
It was thirteen years ago today Col. Torvalds let the source away. We've been going in and out of drives but we guarantee to raise uptimes. So may I introduce to you the hack we've known for all these years Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU band!
We're Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU band, we hope you will enjoy the code. Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU band, just hack and let the evening go!

It's wonderful to post here, it's certainly no troll. You're such a lovely userbase, we'd like to merge your code with us, we'd love to take you/home.
I don't really want to freeze the code, but I thought you might like to know this release is going to fix the root and we want you all to patch for good.
So let me introduce to you the one and only Billy's fear Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU band!

But will RMS be happy that this artcle is posted to www.linux.com and not www.gnulinux.free?

There is no sig, there is only Zuul.
So, it'll be like trying to get people to migrate from Windows to Linux?
Somehow, I don't see that driving adoption of GNU/Hurd. But, then again, I don't see Hurd coming out any time soon.

Just wait until it's your birthday and I don't get you a cake, a present, balloons, or sing you happy birthday. We'll see what's "redundant" then...
anyone else notice he lumped EMACS in with the operating systems? I think we all know EMACS is much more substantial than that :)
