GNU HURD: Altered visions and lost promise
,----[ Quote ]
| The HURD was meant to be the true kernel
| at the heart of the GNU operating system.
| The promise behind the HURD was
| revolutionary â a set of daemons on top of
| a microkernel that was intended to surpass
| the performance of the monolithic kernels
| of traditional Unix systems and in doing
| so, give greater security, freedom and
| flexibility to the users â but it has yet
| to come down to earth.

| The Arch Hurd folks keep making good
| progress: their count of available packages
| keeps increasing, and one of their team
| reported the first instance of Arch Hurd
| running on real hardware (and uploaded a
| photo as evidence).

| A month of the Hurd: initial work on network
| device drivers in user space, GRUB 2.
|
| This month Zheng Da, our former Google
| Summer of Code student working on network
| virtualization and some related topics,
| published the code for the pcnet32 device
| driver that he had modified to run as a
| user-space process instead of inside the
| kernel, and posted some preliminary
| performance benchmark results.

| This month Philip Charles created a new
| installation CD, the L series, for the Hurd,
| which brings us a big step towards installing
| the Hurd from the Hurd (without the need of a
| Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing
| stuff, please give it a try.

| A month of the Hurd: hurd Debian package, union mount translator, bug fixes,
| and a job opening.
|
| Samuel Thibault uploaded a new version of the hurd Debian package which
| improves system stability by fixing a long-standing bug in the exec
| server that had randomly made it hang, inhibiting the creation of new
| processes.

GNU and FSF News for January 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| Welcome to the new year and another monthly installment of news about the
| Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project. This month we have news from
| the FSF Europe, the latest numbers on GPLv3 conversions, the annual Gfortran
| report from the GCC folks, a GLib development release, Stallman commenting on
| the GNOME's alleged support of OOXML, GNU Hurd news, and more.

| GNU Hurd
|
| Shakthi Kannan has been working on a high-level system architecture diagram
| of the main components in GNU Mach and the Hurd. After several iterations of
| accepting corrections and other suggestions on the bug-hurd list, he came up
| with a diagram that was generally agreed to be reasonably close (PNG image,
| DIA diagram).

Debian GNU/Minix
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally someone has seen the light and started a project that I called for in
| a previous article. This melding of the Minix kernel with the GNU userland is
| called Preventa, and seems to poke fun at the name Nexenta, a similar project
| using the Solaris kernel, all in good fun Iâm sure, considering that the
| project leaderâs blog is called âLa Salle Debainâ (a play on âDebianâ and the
| French for âbathroomâ).

The GNU Hurd
,----[ Quote ]
| This post was written for two reasons: one is to raise awareness about the
| existence of the GNU Hurd kernel and maybe bring it to the attention of
| people who want to help with its development.

Students develop new GNU installer
,----[ Quote ]
| âThe developed installer LX series of advanced Debian GNU Hurd is available
| in the CD format. It makes the installation task much simple and easy to
| boot,â said Raju. The students were assisted by two lecturers P Badarudeen
| and A.Ragesh of the IT department, besides the guidance by Philip Charles.
