  Thanks for your warm message. :-)

  However, I'd like to point out that GRUB is NOT part of Hurd. Even
if GRUB plays an important role with Hurd, GRUB is an independent
project. In fact, there are several other projects that more or less
depend on GRUB, such as Fiasco and Linux-Mandrake. In addition,
Etherboot and OSKit's netboot kernel also support the Multiboot
Specification (they are not fully compliant, though).
