Huh? The Hurd works, and I've never expressed sour grapes. I think
Linux is great. Some people seem bent on conflict and a sort of "my
system makes yours obsolete/pointless/whatever". I think such
attitudes are a great distraction in the free software movement.
Gnome vs. KDE; the Hurd vs. Linux; GNU vs. BSD; X Emacs vs. GNU Emacs;
etc., etc., etc. All these are pointless battles. Sure, I have my
own preferences. And so does nearly everyone. But I think having all
these projects succeed and produce more wonderful software is only
good for the world.
