Debian GNU/Hurd 2015 Released

Posted by Soulskill on Friday May 1, 2015 @08:38AM from the onward-and-upward dept.

An anonymous reader sends this announcement from the debian-hurd mailing list: It is with huge pleasure that the Debian GNU/Hurd team announces the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2015. This is a snapshot of Debian "sid" at the time of the stable Debian "jessie" release (April 2015), so it is mostly based on the same sources. It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release. The installation ISO images can be downloaded from Debian Ports in the usual three Debian flavors: NETINST, CD, or DVD. Besides the friendly Debian installer, a pre-installed disk image is also available there, making it even easier to try Debian GNU/Hurd. The easiest way to run it is inside a VM such as qemu.

That's because Stallman and the FSF don't see systemd as the death of free software. To Stallman, systemd is GPLv3 and therefore, it is free software. If you want software that doesn't require systemd, then it's your responsibility to write software that doesn't use systemd. This is what GNU does.
