Well, there are many routes :-) I believe the biggest group -- though by far not the only one -- are those who were browsing GNU website etc., because they support the ideals of the GNU movement. > > Pretty nice description of the ideas behind the Hurd :-) > > :-) > > Maybe I should put it up somewhere.
