<apteryx>Hi! What are most hurd enthusiasts here running from? The Guix hurd image or the Debian one? Something else?

<youpi>rather the Debian one

<apteryx>running in QEMU for most people, right?

<apteryx>what's the focus of the development these days (if there is one); or what are people hacking on?

<youpi>apteryx: userland disk drivers, smp and 64bit support

<apteryx>neat! 64bit support is probably in high demand :-)

<apteryx>is it complicated today to reproduce the level of isolation provided by Linux namespaces on Hurd?

<apteryx>anything to read about this topic?

<youpi>64bit is not really high demand, essentially everything can work with 32bits

<youpi>suib-hurds provide better isolation than linux namespaces

<youpi>isolation is a *native* thing in the hurd

<apteryx>OK. I thought for people wanting to put their servers to good work with more than 4 GiB of addressable memory

<youpi>32bit can use more than 4G of ram already

<apteryx>oh, I didn't know that

<apteryx>I'll read on sub hurds, thank you
