I ask, because I read on the net, that KDE and similar won't run, because
pthreads aren't fully implemented. That is: Weren't fully implemented in 2000
or so.
And with my searches on the web I didn't find information if that had changed
(means: if I could run KDE now :) ).
-> I ask, because the debian guide says, it won't work, but its way to start
xorg doesn't work, so I'm not sure how current it is.
- http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install
How up to date is the Hurd user guide?
- http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/users-guide/using_gnuhurd.html
Besides: The error I get when I try to start X.org is
"Cannot open keyboard (not a directory)"
Best wishes,
Arne
