I just installed the Hurd on a Gateway E-1800. It's a bare minimum 
install, with lots of broken-ness.

And they say installing Debian GNU/Linux is hard. Debian GNU/Linux is a 
piece of cake. If anyone ever complains about how hard it is to install 
Debian again, point 'em to the Hurd.

But I'm having fun . . .   :-)
 

       

Maybe you could keep us posted on how useable the Hurd is?

TIA,

David



     

Well, as I mentioned, there's a lot of broken-ness at the moment. But 
I'm overcoming some sort of hurdle every half-hour to an hour or so, so 
it's got that "work-work-work-REWARD!" routine going for it.

I'm keeping notes at 
http://faculty.acu.edu/~westk/A_Beginners_Attempt_to_Install_the_Hurd.html. 
Be aware they are very "random". Some time later I may clean them up.
   

I've wiped the drive and started over, and started a new, much cleaner 
document. It can be found at 
http://faculty.acu.edu/~westk/A_Beginners_Second_Attempt_to_Install_the_Hurd.html

Unfortunately, I've run into problems again, so I still can't report 
that the Hurd is usable. Give me time . . . .
