Tudod mikor kezdtek el fejleszteni a HURD-ot? 1990-ben. 20 ev alatt nem jutott el olyan szintre, hogy hasznalni lehessen.

A lap aljan a reportbol idezek:
"I have been using the Hurd for most of my everyday work for some two years now. Most of the time it's pretty OK, but occasionally programs crash, or the screen session dies, or even the whole system. Also, various programs simply don't work at all, or don't work in certain situations.
While I have learned to work around many of these issues, I don't believe I would be able to use it as my primary system, without having a GNU/Linux system running in parallel, as a fallback for all the stuff that doesn't work on the Hurd.
My everyday work includes reading/writing email and other texts, preparing and giving presentations, text-mode web browsing, viewing pictures, IRC, reading PDF documents, programming, and various other random stuff...
[...]
One particular problem for desktop use is the fact that while X does work, it works very poorly -- it's not only slow and jerky all the time, but also tends to lock up completely. (At least with the local socket transport... Haven't tried whether forcing TCP works better.)"
Szoval meg a legalapvetobb dolgokra is tulajdonkeppen alkalmatlan...
