I'm extremely excited to check this out! I really like the idea of translators, and low and behold when I log in there's a tutorial on them in root's home directory! I might switch to this if the ui is bearable enough.
Very nice. I'll check it out when I get home. Certainly had this filed as "it might never happen" and haven't checked on the progress in quite some time.
I hope someone will build an OS course around it eventually. Seems pretty good for teaching purposes.<p>Congratulations to everyone involved.
Does anybody offer a cheap (like $5 a month cheap) VPS you could run GNU/Hurd on? I am feeling a perverse need to run a website on it. Or maybe that's still a bad idea at this point?

init system has been switched to sysvinit for a more Debian-like
experience.<p>Hehehe, didn't Debian just switch to systemd with Jessie?
I have a snapshot from May 2014 running as a VirtualBox instance. Tried IceWM and a GNU build chain on it. I'll probably update soon, need to find out what open issues have been addressed in 0.6.
I wanted to look at the source code. Just to save anyone else the time to find it, the link is:<p><a href="http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/tree/?id=v0.6" rel="nofollow">http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/tree/?id=v0.6</a>
