Water on my mill. I want to get into radio operating for that exact reason. However I'm not looking into HAM but into psk31 digital CB (11 Meter Band Euronorm). It's cheaper and more crisis-resistant AFAICT.
Does it now support HDDs larger than 2 GB? I'm not even joking here.
Last time I heard (like 10 years ago or so) it was a theorists wet dream but basically unusable.
What's the state of things with Hurd nwo? Is it usefull already?
What are big steps Hurd still needs to take to be ready for prime time?
What are the plans? When are we there?
Please note: I have no problem replacing Unix with something better, like ome coolDMI thing where everything isn't a file but an object and the system is cleanly designed from top to bottom and back. Top notch but everything modifiable. But it has to be real-world usable and useful. Until then I'm sticking with *nix derivates such as OS X on Apple hardware or some x86 Linux like Debian or Ubuntu on ThinkPads.
Could someone give some enlightenment on this issue?
