Debian and its clones Debian GNU/Hurd can now be installed a little easier. "This month Philip Charles created a new installation CD, the L series, for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing stuff, please give it a try."

Just out of curiosity, have any basic performance tests been done against the kernel/operating system? How does hurd compare to linux or any of the BSD kernels?


More interesting to me is how it compares to Darwin since they're both using the Mach kernel.

It sounds a lot like Darwin, as mentioned by Avie Tevanian, in the fact that they readily tore the kernel apart and put it back together.
