Re: about GNU Hurd

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

          GNU Mach is not fundamentally obsolete or bad, I really do
          not understand where people get this idea from.

       That's what is said about GNU Mach...

   According to what Marcos told me, GNU Mach is fundamentally
   incapable of properly doing the job we had in mind for it to do.

This begs the question, what do we have in mind?  What should GNU
strive towards?

   This does not mean it is fundamentally useless for all uses.  It
   might be fine on a computer only used by one person, according to
   my memories of the issues.  But that won't really excite people, I
   think.  So we need Hurd-NG for a real success.

There are a couple multi-users systems out there that run GNU/Hurd,
and they run suprisingly well.  Barry deFreese maintains them, he
share his insights on that topic.
