Samuel Thibault <[email protected]> has announced the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2013. The release consist of CDs, DVD, and NETINSTALL iso's, and a KVM image. 32 bit only. These are available at http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/ The release announcement is at http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-news.en.html Please note that this is a port release and not part of the official Debian release. While Debian GNU/Hurd has a relationship with Linux and the BSDs it is significantly different to these os's so take care to read the documentation! The discs burnt from the iso's failed to install on the two machines I tried, but it is running nicely with KVM. Nomenclature. Debian knows it as Debian GNU/Linux. It is commonly known as the Hurd, but the kernel is actually gnumach and Hurd runs on top of it. Insiders call it GNU as it was the developing kernel system of GNU until Linux pushed it aside. Enjoy, Phil. -- Philip Charles; 39a Paterson Street, Abbotsford, Dunedin, New Zealand +64 3 488 2818 Fax +64 3 488 2875 Mobile 027 663 4453 [email protected] - personal.
