zeratul2 wanadoo es http://getyouriso.org/). We're actually on a great danger of the GNU system being called Hurd. debian-hurd mailing list, hurd port of debian, hurd-main.iso image...
Actually we do know what the Hurd is, and certainly it deserves a big honor inside the GNU project, but not enough to make it change the name. The problem is that newcomers to GNU believe the system is called "Hurd" just like they believe GNU/Linux is "Linux".
In stricly correct terms, GNU/Hurd is redundant, plus it allows misguided users to call it "Hurd". We should name it the correct way and call it GNU to stop that even if this could lead to another confusion.
