Gentoo GNU/Hurd

I have a second hdd and i dont want bill gates to have it so i have been reading up on different OSes , i read somewhere that there was a project to create Gentoo GNU/Hurd that had been put on hold. I know the gnumach kernel isnt very good ( yet ) but i'm still interested in getting it setup. At the moment i have Debian GNU/Hurd on my second hdd which almost boots

. I have been told that if i re-compile gnumach with a little fiddling it should boot , however i need MIG ( Mach Interface Generator ) so i was wondering if there was a MIG ebuild somewhere and if anyone has any experience with Hurd in general i would appreciate your thoughts and comments

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work

yes its alive and kicking , I was told sound will be supported soon and X is up and running, i just want to tinker for now really, if i can recompile gnumach i should be able to boot it but i need MIG to do so

The HURD is moving (I follow its commit list, and it is quite active).

Maybe you could check, if you can create the Gentoo GNU/Hurd for Google Summer of Code....
