true and a lot of people would prefer we refer to Linux as GNU/Linux
for that reason - just as Debian documentation refers to GNU/Hurd.
I was having a look at progress on Hurd last night and whilst
it still needs quite a bit of work it is installable (with the
standard Debian installer I think) and can use several window
managers including my favourite (wmaker) _and_ xorg.
I still have one hard disk with U????? installed on it so I might
wipe that and give the Hurd kernel a tryout.
