Well, at least GNU community call their system GNU/Hurd (although hurd
servers run in user-space), where Debian GNU/Hurd is the only one (binary)
distribution around. Presently Hurd (the set of servers) runs on microkernel
called GnuMach, but they might port it to run on L4 microkernel. So in the
mear future probably you will got something like:
Debian GNU/Linux for $ARCH
Debian GNU/Hurd-on-GnuMach for $ARCH
Debian GNU/Hurd-on-L4 for $ARCH
Debian GNU/NetBSD for $ARCH
Debian GNU/FreeBSD for $ARCH
Debian GNU/OpenBSD for $ARCH
I would love to see:
Debian GNU/Plan9 for $ARCH ;-)
Presently GNU/Hurd runs only on x86 (i386)
hard to be a debian mirror, huh.
