We discussed the current status of the Debian port to GNU Hurd. Kapil was using GNU/Hurd 3 years ago and he narrated the steps he had to take in installing using crosshurd and how he could not get it working when he had to move to a new hardware. We concluded that for GNU/Hurd to get more people it has to run on the current hardware if not the cutting edge ones. Ongoing work of writing glue code to Linux/FreeBSD device driver framework is a step in the right direction. We hoped to demo Xorg 7.0 working with GNU/Hurd but the k14 snapshot was not ready by that time. We hope it will be available soon. | We discussed the current status of the Debian port to GNU Hurd.
