That reminds me...

A few days ago I read an article mentioning, among other things, GNUstep and
how 'cool' (my choice of words) it would be if/when/whether 'these guys'
(ie. the developers of GNUstep) would decide to put GNUstep on top of their
OWN operating system instead of 'screwing around with existing systems
resulting in symlinks all over the place' (again, my choice of words) and
'imagine GNUstep on a Mach based kernel.'

My first thought was along a distribution based on (Open)Darwin. However,
with respect to the recent news about Darwin/OSX x86 and DRM, I guess this
would be a 'no go.'

AFAIK, xMach is dead :-( So does anyone know how far Hurd is with respect to
usability?

Cheers,
