The "GNU/Linux" naming convention, based on "Base"/"Kernel" structure is fair enough. With GNU being the base components of the OS and Linux being the Kernel. Same way we have GNU/Darwin, GNU/NetBSD, GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/Win varients. Just saying GNU would mean the Hurd as its kernel.
The Hurd may look like a useless excercise, but that's probably because we dont have applications which utilize Hurd's capabilities natively. Most of the applications available are ports of GNU/Linux.
Anurag, can we have a session at the LUG describing what Hurd can do that Linux cannot do. Can you give a demo of GNU/Hurd and if possible show the install procedure.
I have downloaded hurd 2twice but never managed to sucessfully install it.
