   Hi, I'm here and alive. Yes, all those WSEAS posts are irritating.

Sure, i'm alive, but i doubt that this list is properly mirroring the 
newsgroup (as i thought it's supposed to).

  To tell you the truth i feel the need for the rise of gnu-hurd because i am 
fed up of the fact that linux is devloped using non free-software "bk", and the 
fact that gnu-hurd is a micro kernel which makes things much more logical and 
easier to deal with. I don`t know what this list`s topic is supposed to be 
about exactly since it is titled with "misc" any way we can make of it 
something fun and productive..

   [Not exactly: the Hurd is a kernel (implemented as a set of servers) 
built upon
a microkernel; GNU/Hurd is the whole operating system essentially made by
GNU and the Hurd as its kernel]

   The fact that Linux is developed using a non-free revision control 
system is surely incoherent from our point of view. However I think we 
can't change that from the outside; Linus Torvalds sees "open source" 
just as a convenient development method, ignoring ethical 
considerations. I'm happy that you disagree with him.
   The Hurd is a very very interesting object, but remember that it's 
not yet as mature as Linux; before it's ready for production use we can 
use GNU/Linux without too many hassles, and be happy with it. It's GPL'd 
free software, and it remains so even if we don't share the ideas of its 
author. I agree with you on the fact that the Hurd architecture is much 
more "aesthetically" pleasant, but today Linux works fairly well.

   However if you have experience in OS design and you want to actively 
contribute with your work to the Hurd then write to bug-hurd <at> gnu.org or 
help-hurd <at> gnu.org; the Hurd developers will welcome you.

   If instead you are interested in revision control systems you could

Hey, I'm still here.  My experience is the same, though.  I thought this
was supposed to be a list-to-news gateway to gnu.misc.discuss for those
who don't have usenet access?
