Agent007:
It is VERY VERY inportant that u specify and make it clear that it is Free as in Freedom and NOT something to do with paying zero or no money at all....When u say, that it's free in terms of money, pl get the idea that its some cheap stuff etc..

Though its difficult, they NEED to understand and grasp  the concepts of GNU..

thanks,

Agent007:
I  had asked the a similar question to Dr Stallman when he had come down to India, but he seemed to avoid the question and did'nt give a very convincing answer..

Once its complete though, I guess we would have to start calling it GNU/Hurd instead of GNU/Linux.

Oh well, the whole process would start all over again and the saga continues......

My question is that after they have been working on Hurd for so long now, will it be something revolutionary, or will it fail due to the success of linux?

No probably not, ramming my head into a wall and eating hamsters does not sound like fun!

Sorry agent 007, I will try and mend my newbie ways. 8-(

What is Hurd?

Virus free is kinda good wuck... no more virus scans  taking up over two hours of my time... But as linux becomes more popular with people wont the [expletive]heads that write virus' start writing some for linux? I had got the (tell me if im wrong) impression that linux was virus free because certain ppl want to do the most damage... and doing the most damage meant damaging the most popular OS. If virus writing for linux becomes popular wont everyone be caught by surprise? I mean there are no linux virus scanners... like i said correct me if im wrong.

Faust:
Please ignore the what is hurd question... I have just found the hurd website.
