"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."

When did dead ends become interesting? Or do you mean that it is interesting to watch groups of people perseverate on dead end projects?
