By the normal rules of -English orthography, they all have the same pronunciations. - - -# Spelling, Usage and Pronunication - -The Hurd has its share of linguistic debate. The subject of proper usage comes up quite often. - -We call our kernel replacement \`\`the Hurd.'' Although Thomas Bushnell, BSG states that the -word \`\`Hurd'' is an acronym; we do not treat it as such, but rather as a concrete noun. -It is widely regarded as incorrect to use the term \`\`HURD'' or \`\`H.U.R.D.'' So, to -refer to the collection of servers running on top of the microkernel, we would say, -\`\`I have upgraded to the latest version of the Hurd.'' Since the Hurd is part of -the GNU Project, we also refer to it as \`\`GNU Hurd'' which is treated as a proper noun. - -The Hurd, in conjunction with Mach, forms the core of the GNU operating system. -So, one can say \`\`I have installed GNU on my friend's new computer.'' The -Debian Project clarifies this by using the name \`\`Debian GNU/Hurd'', because -it also distributes the GNU/Linux variant of GNU. - -To pronounce the word \`\`Hurd,'' you should say the English word \`\`herd.'' This is pronounced as \`\`hɚd'' using the International Phonetic Alphabet. - -# In Other Contexts - -One contributor from Norway described two other uses of Hird. - -* "the kings men", a name given to the men accompanying the Norwegian kings at about -year 1000 and on. -This was later coined by V. Quisling when he formed a party with -nationalistic traits to denote a set of helpers promoting his agenda -of national & Nordic ideas. - -* A symbol of collaboration with the (German) enemy used in World War II. - -Perhaps unrelated: the "herd mentality" of folks is what the Hurd project -and the the GNU project in general is fighting against, and using the Hurd it is -very easy to do so, since even normal users without privileged can change things -deep inside the system - without restricting others in any way (see -[translators](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-doc-translator)). diff --git a/Hurd/TheGnuHurd.mdwn b/Hurd/TheGnuHurd.mdwn deleted file mode 100644 index dbd5c721..00000000 --- a/Hurd/TheGnuHurd.mdwn +++ /dev/null @@ -1,30 +0,0 @@ -[[meta copyright="Copyright © 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, -Inc."]] - -[[meta license="""[[toggle id="license" text="GFDL 1.2+"]][[toggleable -id="license" text="Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this -document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or -any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant -Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
