pretty cool.....is it worth trying out ? i mean compared to the features of red hat and fedora....but still the fat32 file system seems quite inviting!
i thought klinux was making his own distro.....somthin like the revolutionary post by linus trovalds.... :lol:

And i'm thinking of some other kernel and not Linux.... installed GNU-Hurd a month back... Mach kernel is just so smooth...

They are slow, due to lack of developers, but certainly not dead.... Debian released Hurd K7 release sometime back....

@GNU : ppl all over forum seem to be upset of lack of tech in mag . from Gnu/Linux side , what do u think they should carry to help linuxers ??

read this:
*www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html

Hurd is not taken from anyone's name. read this quote:
According to Thomas Bushnell, BSG, the primary architect of the Hurd:

`Hurd' stands for `Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'. And, then, `Hird' stands for `Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'. We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

Its not stable yet. And magazines generally write what's hot. And not what's going to be revolutionary
