Thread: Status of development of the Hurd

I am excited to know about the status of development of the Hurd?

The Hurd is the GNU kernel that we started in 1990 because there was no free kernel and we needed a kernel to have a complete GNU system. Well, various things went wrong and it works, but it doesn't work all that well. However, it's making progress. A few years ago they could only compile 40 per cent of Debian packages on Debian GNU/Hurd and now they can compile 60 per cent So, they are making progress, but have a long way to go.
