Gnu kernel, called Hurd, could be in production this year, says free
software guru Stallman.

See http://www.idg.net/ic_829012_4394_1-3921.html.

Stallman and Tannebaum seem to be in agreement, quoth I...

RMS> The Hurd kernel of FSF's GNU system is more powerful than Linux
RMS> because it is designed using a microkernel instead of a monolithic
RMS> architecture, Stallman said.

Though, if I recall correctly, Hurd was supposed to be based on Mach,
which might be hard to qualify as a microkernel.  I supposed that the
proof in the pudding will be actual benchmarks, mai, je digresse....

For added fun, the old GNU/Linux thread is resurrected too.
