Debian GNU/HURD or Debian GNU/Hurd

Is GNU HURD to be written in all caps or in a regular way, like Hurd? Allthough HURD in GNU/Hurd is an acronym, its name is Hurd. What will it be? -- 129.177.121.102 13:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is written the Hurd. See FAQ about the GNU Hurd -- mms 13:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a Tux graphic?

Hurd is a kernel, separate and different from the Linux kernel. Tux is the Linux kernel mascot, so why is he associated with an article on Hurd? Hurd has an official icon: see [1]. -- Brandonrunyon (talk) 00:00, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my real question is more why is this a "Linux-distribution" stub? Linux has nothing to do with Hurd. Not even the same authors. This should be a GNU related stub, as Hurd is a GNU project and not a Linux project. --

I have just modified one external link on Debian GNU/Hurd. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20151124034001/https://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Debian_GNU/Hurd_vs_Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD to https://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Debian_GNU/Hurd_vs_Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

s/15 Jan 2017/18 June 2017/

The presently used archive gives 18 June 2017: https://web.archive.org/web/20170929013440/https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-news - and the next earlier archive.org snapshot, from 16 May 2017, https://web.archive.org/web/20170516065011/https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-news, lists the 2015 release as the most recent. So 18 June 2017 (also on the present live version of the page) matches the archived and live sources. Boud (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
