     @giacomo Debian is building a distro around the !gnu #hurd: http://is.gd/13IXB

     @mtrausch I knew... some years ago I did installed... but I was asking about the kernel state: eg did it still handle 2gb sized fs at most?

     @giacomo !gnu #hurd is active -- though there is no release. You can actually test it in no time with ready to go qemu images.

     @tvmanukrishnan I've always liked !gnu #hurd architecture, but afaik it's just a wonderful dream... nothing really usable in any environment

     @tvmanukrishnan I'd like to know if it has become something useful in one env at least.. !plan9 for example is fully functional as a grid OS
