hurd 0.401 is released!

[Samuel Thibault]

Hello,

There are rumors that Duke Nukem Forever will actually be released in
Apr^WMa^WJune 2011, so there's no escape for the Hurd any more, we had
to finish and release. There has been considerable progress lately,
so it is with great pleasure that the Hurd maintainers team decided
to release version 0.401 of the GNU/Hurd Operating System. As the
version number and image size suggest, this is only a small preview
of course, but we expect GNU/Hurd to be of production-quality within
the third millenium, to be sure.

A LiveCD demo is available on
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-0.401/hurd-0.401.iso
and can be trivially tried using
qemu -cdrom hurd-0.401.iso

We hope that you will appreciate its features and speed.

It is also worth noting that like in previous years, GNU/Hurd runs
for the GSoC program, details can be found on
