Does Hurd actually exist?
You read in Linux history that the GNU team were working on a kernel called Hurd when Linus Torvalds came along with Linux and they decided to use that instead. So Hurd must be a very long-running project, older than Linux itself.
What actually happened to it? Is there such a thing as a working Hurd kernel? And if there is, who uses it? Suppose you put together Hurd and the GNU utilities: what would that be called? Not Linux obviously."I'm just a little old lady; don't try to dazzle me with jargon!"

I have a GNU Hurd CD around here somewhere... I attempted to install it several years back but without success.

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
