hm, both have problems
hurd-i386, linux-i386 has the problem of..
really long arch: lines
Arch: linux-i386, linux-ppc, linux-m68k, linux-alpha, linux-sparc,
hurd-i386, hurd-ppc, hurd-m68k, hurd-alpha, hurd-sparc ... etc
OTOH
Kernel: linux, hurd
Arch: i386, ppc, m68k, alpha, sparc
is easier on the eyes, but I'm not sure what you do
if you want to say linux (i386, ppc, m68k, alpha)
and hurd (i386, ppc, m68k)
- but not hurd(alpha)
