Date: 2 Jun 1995 03:10:20 GMT Organization: NASA GSFC Lines: 19 Message-ID: <3qlves$3vm@news3.digex.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: dcc05461.slip.digex.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; Linux 1.2.7 i486) X-URL: news:gnu.misc.discuss/16618-16718 This just asking for a battle but here goes anyway... I've heard that R. Stallman has said that the Linux/GNU system is the offical FSF GNU system until the HURD is ready, however, one (currently) needs FreeBSD to install the HURD. Does this not introduce a conflict? Perhaps the HURD and even Mach itself was geared (file system wise) toward FreeBSD before Linux ever became a real alterative? I realize this is not really important, but as a current Linux user I find it frustrating I can't directly try the HURD without having FreeBSD. Yes, I know a port the ext2 File system is underway (I think so at least) for the HURD. For course it's entirely possiable I misunderstood the HURD alpha documentation.
