This looks good.  New operating systems probably happen a little less
often than new Linux distributions...

This would also give Hurd a proper place in the operating system
field, which should keep the GNU fanatics happy.  <wink>

The only thing I still wonder about, given that, is whether the *BSD
operating systems are different enough to get separate entries.  I
don't even know enough about BSD to offer an _uninformed_ opinion on
that.
