Ok, this is how i went. 1) google Hurd I am feeling lucky goes to gnu website. lots of pointers to Hurd and Mach CVS and official user guides et al. 2) goto irc.feenode.net #hurd. ppl will help you out but , be ware no silly questions the hurd ppl are really busy hacking so they dont like lame things. so dont skip step 1 AFAIK the hurd runs on Mach which is quite slow. so ppl are trying to shift ( port ) to OSKit and in the future to thing called l4 ( google it ). But l4 is written in C++. so hurd needs to be ported again. What i dont understand is that WHY linux and Hurd binaries are incompatible. and why cant there be a simple mechnism which can be used so that Linux drivers can be compiled to Hurd servers. ( althought linux 2.2 drivers have been ported ot some extent ) pls excuse my newbieness on this topic. rahul On Friday 01 August 2003 11:03 am, Ajay Cuncoliencar wrote: -- All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.
