Serious question?
He wanted to tell me, that it's still an Alpha version.

Well, I'm really not sure what I have.
It's a CD from a journal (freeX 4'00) - and the archive is very
confusing. They called it "Debian GNU Hurd 0.3", but "uname -a"
sais "GNU hurd 0.2 GNUmach-1.2/Hurd-0.2 i386-AT386 unknown", that's why
I wrote 0.2. But there is also a debian/unstable archive on the CD -
at least a small part of it (there's lots of other stuff on the CD).
Well I don't have the journal anymore, so it may be, that I chose the
wrong files for the base system...
