Additional to all the useful things Matthew wrote, I'd add: "IamTrying" could/should have read such Basic stuff on many webs/ search engines, inc Wikipedia. no need to ask here: More efficient for community if "IamTrying" read there. Less writing work, per more readers, & more carefully researched & cross checked & linked facts etc. My memory: Hurd for many years was GNU/FSF's dream / vapourware OS, a few bits but not a complete OS (kernel, compiler, cd /usr/src ; make world ) most of us ignored it & got on with BSD lcensed BSD code. Later Linux arrived, maybe a decade later Hurd finaly arrived as an OS no longer bits; most of us in BSD continued to ignore it. It's FSF, we in BSD prefer BSD licenced stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd "GNU General Public License" Minix3 exists too. Yup Minix isn't dead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minix3 Mach exists or use to, various OSs if you're browsing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system Includes ref. to google chrome.
