Last week (on Aug 24) we (me, VR and two other colleagues) presented a seminar on GNU slash Hurd as part of our training programme at my company (HP GDIC).
The presenation is available here (pdf)
The seminar was very interesting. We introduced the concept of micro kernel and how it differs from a monolithic kernel. Also we discussed single server and multi server OSes.
I tried to install gnu-debian-k8-hurd in lab but the partition naming was so confusing so that I could not boot it after first phase (copy to hard disk). I had installed it before while I was in NITC and here I wrote about it.
Now I have downloaded the live cd from Superunprivileged.org. Now you can easily try out GNU OS without any hassles.
Now I look forward to using and hacking the GNU OS.
PS: There is a Bangalore Free Software CD database where you will get details of the CDs available with Bangaloreans and how to contact them.
