This is a status update for the Debian GNU/Hurd port. While the port was limping along for a couple of years, it has picked up speed again. The current state is still far from being on par with Debian's established Linux ports, but it is mostly up to date and reasonably usable.

First off, it's GNU Mach which does the hardware, not the Hurd, so blaming the Hurd is incorrect.
Seconds, for some reason, I never had issues to get it to boot at least, though sometimes the network controller is not supported. I currently run the Hurd on my ThinkPad R51 (a Pentium M 1.5GHz), my parent's P4-1.8 GHz, my old Compaq Armada 1500c (mobile Celeron 400) and a Athlon 800 system. But sure, it might not work for you, that's life.
You can run the Hurd on qemu as well, I never did so myself, though. See http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Distrib/HurdOnQEMU for further information.
