Who said it's the same Hurd (it's spelled Hurd, not HURD)? The latter is a GNU snapshot, not Debian GNU/Hurd, they are two destinct versions of the GNU system, and have different versions of the Hurd and other packages.
OK, i got it. it is like different GNU/Linux distros: Fedora, Arch, Debian etc. Debian GNU/Hurd comes with the its own package management apt-get. i think that is advantageous to me as i want a good package manager. manual package management like we have in Slackware is PITA . thanks -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ -- people say RMS is arrogant and when i emailed him about some question i had, he politely said "please help us by calling the whole system as GNU/Linux, we need this help". only then i knew people mean "please from RMS == arrogant", quite funny thing IMO. --
