[LUGSB] Arch Hurd

[David]

Now all we need is hell freezing over and pigs to start flying... damnit, i
might start to believê 2012 is really end of the world.

After the that GNU Hurd is coming, Phoronix set out to install Debian GNU
Hurd and to provide GNU Hurd vs. Linux benchmarks. Linux was mostly faster
than The Hurd while also having much better hardware support, multi-core SMP
support, and other modern functionality.

Stick with Linux and it's Linus' kernel.
