Hi, I know none of you know me but I thought I'd add my tuppence. I would like to see the Hurd focusing on multi-core systems. I see it introducing load management capabilities unseen anywhere else (with different modes for economy and performance). It seems like the obvious way to use a microkernel.
It'd be an advantage if there were more hardware developed under the GPL, as that would be home ground for the Hurd. -Matthew
