I installed in on my T23, believe it or not. Of course, the only
hardware so far is the VGA text display, IDE hard drive, and ethernet
adaptor. I haven't been back into it for some time, though.
It's still unpolished in some areas (long arcane commands need to be
entered each system start). Otherwise I can't compare it to Linux as I
haven't done much other than update it and tinker just a bit. It sort
of reminds me of when Linux was not so polished. Now, the Debian part
of the Hurd is what I would expect, rather solid.
