- A monolithic entity to implement Unix services. The Hurd splits Unix

- One goal is binary compatability with BSD, so it might be called a
- look-alike, but it also will have its own non-Unixy (or super-Unixy)
- way of doing things. I don't believe there is any Berkeley code in
- the Hurd, and there is certainly no AT&T code. One intermediate plan
- was to use Berkeley networking code in the Unix emulator, but that
- appears to have changed. (I haven't read the original article.)
