Debian and its clones It's hard to turn a news item like this into a front page item, but I'm going to try anyway, because I think it's pretty cool news. As we all know, Debian supports a number of architectures as 'release architectures', but what some of you may not be aware of is that Debian also supports a number of kernels other than Linux. One of those, the FreeBSD kernel, has been promoted to release status, putting it on equal footing with the Linux variant.

Now Debian could get off their a**es and start doing some work on the Hurd, too. ;-)


Well, I see the smile, but they create a distro, not kernels. But yes, it would be nice to see a somewhat bigger activity around Hurd.

Regarding the new above, it's really totally front page news, this is a major one for all Debian users and fans. Really great, and I'm sending my virtual pat on the back for all those involved in making this finally happen.
