Then what is the difference between GNU and GNU/Linux? If
replacing the kernel is (almost) not noticible for the user,
why does it matter that we use the Hurd, Linux, the BSD kernel
or even the Solaris kernel?
If the Hurd provides more power and/or better security, that won't
directly change the user experience. However, programmers and
sysadmins will take advantage of them, and the result will be
better user experience too.
This is true, but why put so much effort into creating a new kernel
when one can use Solaris, Linux, etc and achive the same goal much
eaiser and faster?
Diversity is one of strength of the free software. It provides
many choices for the end users and also it installs competition
between similar projects. This is, in my opinion, a good thing.
