==Technical details== | |||
The HURD (aka: GNU/HURD) is not only the only Operating System with an indirectly recursive name (HURD stands for HIRD of Unix-replacing daemons where HIRD stands for HURD of interfaces representing depth), it is also a an ambitious project aiming to surpass Unix in functionality. The HURD uses a Mach microkernel on that, a set of servers for different services. Due to the ambitiousness of the project and the difficulties with the Mach microkernel, the HURD in under development since 1990 and still only reached version 0.2. It was expected to reach 1.0 in 'half a year' since 1990, but still hasn't, in 20 years of development! | The HURD (aka: GNU/HURD) is not only the only Operating System with an indirectly recursive name (HURD stands for HIRD of Unix-replacing daemons where HIRD stands for HURD of interfaces representing depth), it is also a an ambitious project aiming to surpass Unix in functionality.

HURD-tan is represented as a woman with short purple hair, and wearing a tuxedo. She works as waitress, serving food and drinks, as reference to the servers of the HURD. She also studies and there is very perfectionistic yet absentminded. She would rather turn in a blank sheet than an unelegant solution, and does not care for much else. With the exception of [[Debian | Debian-tan]], she is a bit distrusting towards the Linux distro-tans, and prefers to stay away from [[Linux | Linux-tan]] since she still feels a lot of anger towards her. She is not exactly aware of the existance of most of the Windows-tans either. As she would say: "Hey, I have my studies, my work, I have no time to read the news". She likes to hang out in her limited free time with other rather nerdy OS-tans. | HURD-tan is represented as a woman with short purple hair, and wearing a tuxedo.
