[Trisquel-users] Re : H-node

Just to correct an historical mistake: GNU Hurd was in no way developed in  
reaction to Linux. Its development actually started in 1990, i.e., before  
Linus Torvalds started Linux. Actually, the effort on the Hurd was rapidly  
diminished because, after being released under the GNU GPL, Linux was filling  
the missing piece (the kernel) of the GNU operating system. There was no  
pressing need for another kernel (whose development is hard because a  
micro-kernel architecture was chosen).
