There is a major difference between the GNU/Hurd and all the Linux and BSD ports. We are creating a new os.
I fail to see who exactly is creating a new OS. I know you cannot mean Debian GNU/Hurd, since it is a second class citizen within Debian and will _always_ be a second class citizen. And the small problem of having "Debian GNU/Linux" dictate how things should be done with Debian GNU/Hurd. You cannot do anything new if you have someone else dictating how you should do things (people bitching about totally nonessential things like the FHS is a nice example). Anything that deviates from Debian GNU/Linux will be frowned upon for the soul reason that "it isn't in Debian GNU/Linux". What Debian GNU/Hurd will be is Debian GNU/Linux + translator support, and a easy way for people to try the Hurd, without all the nice things. Debian is not interested in creating a new operating system. I also know that you cannot mean the GNU system, since "we" consists of less people then there are people hacking on the Hurd right now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
