I know Alfread doesn't agree on this, but I must say that I see a pretty different picture. There actually have been quite considerable improvments in stability and software compatibility. The stability problems in Debian GNU/Hurd were due to a buggy tool-chain on Debian's side, it was easily rectified by recompiling things. None of the patches touched stability issues; infact, almost all of the patches have been cosmetic changes. And the glibc maintainers have been far easier to deal with than the Hurd maintainers; which is quite funny... _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
