Something I learned from the GNU Project is that GNU is the operating system and Linux-libre is the kernel. So I don't think not having the Hurd ready is an obstacle. Let's just go ahead and use the name. RMS will be glad to know that the real GNU will be available for download in some months or a couple of years (and not decades). --=20 Luis Felipe L=C3=B3pez Acevedo http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/
