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."

Its slow going but plz consider these guys are a small team. All the work is most probably done in their spare time.

So? Haiku is done by a small team in their spare time as well.
Even if you add the development time of the NewOS kernel (written by a single guy, back then), its development speed is still faster than Hurd's.
