+Byte magazine published this in the `Letters' section
+of the March '96 issue:
+
+ Where's the GNU Hurd?
+
+ The November 1995 articles "NT Roars
+ on the 604" and "CPU scorecards" were
+ quite welcome. But the Special Report on
+ operating systems did not mention GNU
+ Hurd. This OS is based on the Mach mi-
+ crokernel, and thus it has been essentially
+ ported to a wide variety of hardware plat-
+ forms--nearly as many as NetBSD. To
+ learn more about the Hurd, and especially
+ about its binary portability, visit http://
+ www.cs.pdx.edu/~trent/gnu/hurd/. Con-
+ trary to what you say in the text box "Op-
+ erating-System Research: Dim or Bright
+ Future?" (page 116), microkernel tech-
+ nology has not been exploited to its max-
+ imum capability, as the Hurd philosophy
+ demonstrates.
