Hacker

It's Debian GNU/Linux, not Debian Linux.
If you were to remove something from the name, it would be Linux.

Most of the package archive runs on Debian GNU/Hurd as well. Without modifications.

debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-dev…
gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/por…

Compare that with porting a package to FreeBSD. GNU/kFreeBSD doesn't require anything either.

Debian -- Debian GNU/Hurd --- Development
