gone for 3 days and what to I come home to find...

here's a point:

  When we talk about GNU's HURD OS we generally say just HURD.  When we
talk about IBM's AIX, Sun's Solaris, SGI's Irix,...  we just use the 
short name.  When I talk about the tools (which is what GNU really did
write), I typically use the term GNU.  Linux was written because
everyone associated with GNU was cranking out tools and no kernel.  HURD
is now availible, but has not caught on.

uggg... enough of this.

  see ya'
