Have I recently fallen through a small hole in the 4D topography of space or
did we have this discussion a few months back?
Severl varients were suggested from strait GNU, to GNU/HURD and my own
GNU (HURD) (which some people liked as a good compromise but I believe the
general consensus was otherwise - which is fine by me: _I_ know that HURD is
a HIRD of Unix Replacing Daemons and GNU is the whole OS ;-).
BTW: as you can see from my sig, I use KDE, which uses a plug-in URL
interface that from the outside looks somewhat like translators under HURD.
Is it worth a programmer checking if anything in there is re-usable? Possibly
not much unless you like C++ (which I don't, but then my programming ability
is more suited to high-level environments like Java and Python).
