  "[...] so for those hoping for an alternative to minix-386, please ignore me" Sorry. Won't do you this favor...

    "The GNU Hurd is under active development. Because of that, there is no stable version." -- http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html

      Hurd didn't boot until 1994, and didn't really pick up until 1996. http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/history.html http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/history.html

    The Hurd kernel is used today. I know! When I worked for the NSA, all of our Cray supercomputers ran it. It can divide by zero and that is how we cracked passwords, AES 256, etc. It's a wonderful, albeit hippie-liberal kernel.
