Hi!
HURD is not a linux flavor. It is a GNU-OS with a Mach microkernel instead
of a Linux macrokernel. One could say that HURD is a cousin of the
FreeBSDs versions of UNIX.
The goal of the Debian team is to offer two free OS with two different
types of kernels, but which would support almost the same types of
excecutables.
Sincerely,
			Utheza Didier.
