GNU Hurd 0.6 released
Quote:
We're pleased to announce version 0.6 of the GNU Hurd,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>.
The GNU Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel. It is
a collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement
file systems, network protocols, file access control, and other features
that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels (such as
Linux). More detailed:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation.html>,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/what_is_the_gnu_hurd.html>.
GNU Hurd runs on 32-bit x86 machines. A version running on 64-bit x86
(x86_64) machines is in progress. Volunteers interested in ports to
other architectures are sought; please contact us (see below) if you'd
like to help.
To compile the Hurd, you need a toolchain configured to target i?86-gnu;
you cannot use a toolchain targeting GNU/Linux. Also note that you
cannot run the Hurd "in isolation": you'll need to add further components
such as the GNU Mach microkernel and the GNU C Library (glibc), to turn
it into a runnable system.
This new release bundles bug fixes and enhancements done since the last
release:
