I believe the phrase in academia is "publish or perish."  I think Linus 
got out there with a workable system and Hurd has been sitting in the 
wings ever since.  My hardware students are about to install "Other" 
alternative OSes this next six weeks (The last six weeks of school) and 
so we are going to look at Hurd, FreeBSD, and Solaris.  Have fun, Dennis
