I have been wondering this for some time but have refrained from asking it
because it sounds like a flame, but it is not.
GNU has been working on Hurd for as long as I have know about them. This has
been at least 3 years, and I have seen nothing from them. Linus has been
working on linux for about a year and a half, and has produced a very good
operating system. Does anyone know what is taking GNU so long? Prehaps they
have released beta versions that I am unaware of, or prehaps they do not
want to release anything before they get it finished? Anyone know?
Thanks,
