No, it ain't "forever" (GNU Hurd code_swarm from 1991 to 2010)

[biniashvilebi]

wheezy is coming......

[asperger1981]

an open source replacement for the unix standard kernel, right?

[asperger1981]

which is your opinion on the wayland display server protocol?

HURD=Herd of Unix Replacing Daemons

[asperger1981]

not exactly a programmer...but I read too much on the subject.

the enough to know that at lack of your own desktop, a multi-platform toolkit ONLY for GUI's sounds more or less perfect. If your not going to use HTML5 that is.

[ArneBab]

@asperger1981 but there already are many good desktops and other worries come first :)

[asperger1981]

has anybody thought of using FLTK to do a default grafic user interface?

or are you going to use gnome?

[ArneBab]

@asperger1981 You’re welcome to test it!

[fighterpiolt1992]

when will it be fully released? and where can i exactly torrent the source code from?

[ArneBab]

@fighterpiolt1992 The source is available via git from git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd - no need for a torrent client :)

You’ll likely be more interested in the CD image, though: people.debian.org/~sthibault/h­urd-i386/installer/cdimage/

[krosakikyo]

Hurd support Drivers for Linux? 3D speed aceleration?

Eu não quero voltar pra época do terminal não.

[ArneBab]

@krosakikyo It has X11, though still a bit flaky. 3D accelleration will take some time, though the DDE framework which Zheng Da ported makes it easier to port Linux drivers.

[kurniasan]

What is this for?

[ArneBab]

@kurniasan for those interested in the hurd development.

[kurniasan]

@ArneBab I mean, what does the hurd for?

[ArneBab]

@kurniasan see hurd.gnu.org for a description in a few short lines

[ArneBab]

@kurniasan The Hurd is a free replacement for the Linux (kernel) using a more flexible design (microkernel with userspace servers) which allows every user to change far more of his/her environment (without needing root rights) than in Linux — without affecting other users.

See hurd.gnu.org for a clearer description :)

[smixalis0]

@ArneBab The Hurd is not replacement of linux kernel.

The GNU Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.

[ArneBab]

@smixalis0 *today* it is a replacement for the Linux kernes :), but yes, emphasizing GNU a bit more is good.
