X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk : If anyone else has tried HURD, I'd be interested in your opinions. Grin.. its certainly good fun just trying to get stuff compiled and working... I think i've got the worlds first web-server running onto of hurd :) Don't even think you can use it for anything seriously, but you _will_ have something different than everyone else on the block, and if will give you many nights of pulling-your-hair-out enjoyment! As noted by others.. performance is nowhere near the highly optimised FreeBSD.. but thats life. (i'm tempted to setup a cross compiling enviroment here just go build stuff :) Peter -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!
