I think we all want that ;-)

Well, I wouldn't recommend installing Mach and the Hurd as it's still 
on the edge of usability.  Some people have used it as their daily OS 
and reported success.  I haven't that far into it yet, mainly due to 
lack of sound support.

I think the best course to immerse one's self in the world of freedom 
is to stick with the FSF-approved GNU/Linux distributions:

  http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

These are much more usable, even venturing in to the land of stuff just 
working.
