I ask, because I read on the net, that KDE and similar won't run, because 
pthreads aren't fully implemented. That is: Weren't fully implemented in 2000 
or so. 

And with my searches on the web I didn't find information if that had changed 
(means: if I could run KDE now :) ). 

-> I ask, because the debian guide says, it won't work, but its way to start 
xorg doesn't work, so I'm not sure how current it is. 
- http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install

How up to date is the Hurd user guide? 
- http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/users-guide/using_gnuhurd.html

Besides: The error I get when I try to start X.org is
"Cannot open keyboard (not a directory)"

Best wishes, 
Arne
