An anonymous reader writes: GNU developer Samuel Thibault presented at this
weekend's FOSDEM conference about the current state of GNU Hurd. He shared that
over the past year they've started working on experimental sound support as
their big new feature. They also have x86 64-bit support to the point that the
kernel can boot, but not much beyond that stage yet. USB and other
functionality remains a work-in-progress. Those curious about this GNU kernel
project can find more details via the presentation media.
