-Richard Stallman (RMS) started GNU in 1983, as a project to create a
-complete free operating system.  In the text of the GNU Manifesto, he
-mentioned that there is a primitive kernel.  In the first GNUsletter,
-Feb. 1986, he says that GNU's kernel is TRIX, which was developed at
-the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
-
-By December of 1986, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) had "started
-working on the changes needed to TRIX" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1987].
-Shortly thereafter, the FSF began "negotiating with Professor Rashid
-of Carnegie-Mellon University about working with them on the
-development of the Mach kernel" [Gnusletter, June, 1987].  The text
-implies that the FSF wanted to use someone else's work, rather than
-have to fix TRIX.
-
-In [Gnusletter, Feb. 1988], RMS was talking about taking Mach and
-putting the Berkeley Sprite filesystem on top of it, "after the parts
-of Berkeley Unix... have been replaced."
-
-Six months later, the FSF is saying that "if we can't get Mach, we'll
-use TRIX or Berkeley's Sprite."  Here, they present Sprite as a
-full-kernel option, rather than just a filesystem.
-
-In January, 1990, they say "we aren't doing any kernel work.  It does
-not make sense for us to start a kernel project now, when we still
-hope to use Mach" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1990].  Nothing significant occurs
-until 1991, when a more detailed plan is announced:
-
-<BLOCKQUOTE>
-We are still interested in a multi-process kernel running on top of
-Mach.  The CMU lawyers are currently deciding if they can release Mach
-with distribution conditions that will enable us to distribute it.  If
-they decide to do so, then we will probably start work.  CMU has
-available under the same terms as Mach a single-server partial Unix
-emulator named Poe; it is rather slow and provides minimal
-functionality.  We would probably begin by extending Poe to provide
-full functionality.  Later we hope to have a modular emulator divided
-into multiple processes.  [Gnusletter, Jan. 1991].
-</BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-RMS explains the relationship between the [[documentation/Hurd_and_Linux]], where he mentions
-that the FSF started developing the Hurd in 1990.  As of [Gnusletter,
-Nov. 1991], the Hurd (running on Mach) is GNU's official kernel.
