Re: Installing Debian GNU/Hurd as a virtual OS
If there is no APM support, how do I shutdown/turn off the Hurd when I'm finished? Isn't doing a hard power switch kill dangerous for the OS?

Not even shutdown, APM is not supported either.

Err, I guess that like for other hardware, virtualbox usually emulates a
virtual one rather than passing through a physical one.

Yes, Xorg.
