T2 SDE 6.0.0 Released
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 25th Aug 2006 11:19 UTC, submitted by René Rebe
Linux T2 SDE 6.0.0 has been released with various prebuilt .iso images for AMD64, i386, PPC, PPC64, and SPARC64. The various architectures include support for Intel Macs as well as Sun's T1 Niagara CPU, and ship with Xorg 7.0, GCC 4.1.1, KDE 3.5.4, GNOME 2.14.3, and much more. T2 SDE is not just a common Linux distribution - it is a flexible open source System Development Environment. T2 allows the creation of custom distributions. Currently the Linux kernel is used - but they are expanding to MINIX, Hurd, OpenDarwin, and OpenBSD.

"T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralized development and clean a framework for spin-off projects and customized distributions. Another goal was to provide a more continous release stream for stable security updates."

From their homepage. So I'd guess the short answer is yes.

The Hurd 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).

Pedantry, thy name is deanlinkous.

That should read Hurd+Mach then, not that Hurd runs on anything else (does it?).

:) Is that a compliment.
I just don't see a collection of servers being a kernel. It does provide some of the services that a larger kernel would but the hurd itself isn't a kernel. Oh and yes hurd does run on other microkernels or it is a WIP.

Until L4 replaces Mach, it's officially "GNU/Mach HURD", I believe.

Mach runs on the processor, it's the HURD that runs on top of Mach.

L4? I thought the last thought was about using the coyotos kernel stuff? I am sooooo lost when it comes to exactly what the herd working on the hurd is doing it wouldn't surprise me if we were back fullcircle to a mach based kernel.

Who's more meta?

Now that we have so many meta-distros (T2, Gentoo, rPath, etc.) I think it's time for a meta-meta-distro that allows you to build any of them...

Oh no, then we'll soon have 5 meta-meta-distros and pretty soon after that we'll have to build a meta-meta-meta-distro!

How about MoMeta? Hey you want MoMeta on that sandwich?
Maybe a website with a bunch of checkboxes and you go thru and select which parts you want and it rolls it into a iso for you?

There used to be a site that would compile a custom kernel for you if you clicked on checkboxes. Wonder what happened to it...
