GNU Hurd 0.6 Released

Posted by samzenpus on from the brand-new dept.

jrepin writes It has been roughly a year and a half since the last release of the GNU Hurd operating system, so it may be of interest to some readers that GNU Hurd 0.6 has been released along with GNU Mach 1.5 (the microkernel that Hurd runs on) and GNU MIG 1.5 (the Mach Interface Generator, which generates code to handle remote procedure calls). New features include procfs and random translators; cleanups and stylistic fixes, some of which came from static analysis; message dispatching improvements; integer hashing performance improvements; a split of the init server into a startup server and an init program based on System V init; and more.

    What? No systemd ?

    If systemd comes to dominate Linux, we could see something more like 2020: the year of the GNU Hurd Linux replacement...

    I had not really considered using Hurd until the systemd explosion. Maybe I'll load it on a spare box to see what I get.
