BTW. What is GNU/HURD Is it good
QuoteBTW. What is GNU/HURD Is it good It is a work in progress (not at all useful now). Google it, as far as I understand it is an attempt to replace Linux in GNU/Linux and make a GNU-only OS.
The GNU system (also called GNU/Hurd) is completely self-contained (you can compile all parts of it using GNU itself). You can run several instances of the Hurd in parallel, and debug even critical servers in one Hurd instance with gdb running on another Hurd instance. You can run the X window system, applications that use it, and advanced server applications like the Apache webserver.On the negative side, the support for character devices (like sound cards) and other hardware is mostly missing. Although the POSIX interface is provided, some additional interfaces like POSIX shared memory or semaphores are still under development.
Funny thing is I really like Palm OS, and I'm still rocking the Palm Centro after 5 years. I'd still have my original Palm Pilot had I not left it on the roof of my car that day...
