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."

First, I was a heavy BeOS user and I had Haiku running in a VM. Second, you CAN boot into X-Windows/Window Manager in Hurd, like so many of the old unix-like systems you have to set a flag for it to start up automatically.
Third, since I was a heavy BeOS user, and they got squashed by Apple and MS, I've been waiting for what seems an eternity for Haiku.
It's all very subjective. As I tried to intimate in my previous post, 8,9,10,20 years all seem like a LOOOOONG time, my kids have gone from zygotes to relatively large speaking, reasoning creatures in the amount of time it has taken for an alpha version of Haiku to arrive. Do not misunderstand me, I hold great hope for Haiku (check my other posts on OS News) and am a big fan, and donate money to them.
I have maybe another 30 years left on this planet. I'd love to have a released version that I could do my actual work on as a daily OS. You brought up the Haiku comparison, I'm telling you to some people (ie. me) it is still a long time - no matter how you slice it.
