To be honest Zurg is living up to it's expectations. kFreeBSD is
looking very solid on jessie already, and it can only get better by
Zurg time. Initial porting work is done, and now work is mostly put
into polishing and providing new features. It really is something i'm
comfortable running as my main server. And given Zurg's ambitious
plans drafted today the name is both suitable and telling as predicted
back then.
And if scope is limitted to virtual machines / cloud instances - Hurd
also looks very good.
