He said something about "the GNU system running with the Hurd and two BSD kernels." As has already been pointed out by leafy in this thread, he was probably talking about Debian GNU/FreeBSD and Debian GNU/NetBSD, which are a combination of BSD kernels with Debian userlands -- not about the BSD systems as such. He is on record many times as saying that the names GNU/FreeBSD, GNU/Solaris etc are not appropriate even if they include some GNU tools in their distribution. The whole thread is based on an out-of-context quote. Rahul
