Hi, I just wrote the new Month of the Hurd. Please tell me if there’s anything which should be added, removed or changed.
A month of the Hurd: *dde linux26*, *thread storms*, *new live CD* and *IRC meeting schedule*. > This month Zheng Da > [reported](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00037.html) > on the state of porting DDE linux26 to the Hurd, > which can improve the GNU Hurd Hardware support a lot: >> I tested pcnet32, ne2k-pci, rtl8139, e1000. pcnet32 works in >> both VMWare and qemu. Only qemu emulates ne2k-pci and rtl8139 cards and both DDE >> drivers work well in qemu. — [[Zheng_Da|user/zhengda]] > Also Sergio Lopez > [added some patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- hurd/2010-05/msg00106.html) > to prevent thread storms when synchronizing large pagers in ext2fs. They should improve performance for high throughput situations. > Additionally Justus Winter created a [live CD] (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00033.html) > with an installation wizard in the spirit of the OpenBSD installer. > He needs testers to improve it. > And the [scheduled IRC meetings for Google Summer of code] (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00148.html) are continuing on Mondays and Thursdays, 10:30 UTC. If you want to catch up on them, you can have a look at the [channel logs] (http://richtlijn.be/~larstiq/hurd/). > <small>*PS: As the amount of new developments on the Hurd has increased quite a bit since the start of the ‘Month of the Hurd’, these news are only a selection of the items you can already test yourself. There’s more in our [[mailing_lists]]. The rough criterium for the Month of the Hurd is “can you already test it and can I say why it is great for the Hurd at large?” — [[Arne_Babenhauserheide|community/weblogs/ArneBab]]*</small> Best wishes, Arne
