[...] I must admit that I *do* have trouble following you at times :-) If I get it right, the short version is that you offer various kinds of solutions and services based mostly on GNU/Linux (and other free software), but also try to push Hurd where possible?

That is interesting: I am myself interested in the Hurd mostly because I believe that with the extensible architecture, it is a better platform for implementing new approaches -- but so far I haven't met many who share this opinion :-) -antrik-
