Because I think an angry Stallman is a funny Stallman. So I Iook forward to this new Linux variant and I thank Linus Torvalds from the bottom of my heart. There would be no free software movement without you and you cannot be venerated enough. I wonder how Mr. Torvalds came up with Hurd? Oh wait, it is because he is a genius.
Yeah, exactly. When they come out with a PURE version that's JUST Hurd by itself, I'll...not really care. But it'll be interesting for historical reasons and laughter, I suppose.
If you see his nostrils flaring, it means he's about to charge. Charging Stallmans aren't able to turn very well though, so if that happens run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of his charge and you should be pretty safe.
So to try it I downloaded and ran in in qemu as per the instructions.
Playing around a bit I noticed this:
root@debian:~# uname -a
GNU debian 0.3 GNU-Mach 1.3.99/Hurd-0.3 i686-AT386 GNU
root@debian:~# cat/proc/version Linux version 2.6.1 (GNU 0.3 GNU-Mach 1.3.99/Hurd-0.3 i686-AT386)
A lot of work went into the BSD/GNU utilities that go into Linux, and it's disrespectful not to put BSD in front of everything inspired by it, such as "BSD/Linux with the kernel replaced by something obscure that will never be released."

How long does it take a DEC field service engineer to change a lightbulb?
It depends on how many bad ones he brought with him.
