-When comparing the Hurd (and its [[Mach/GnuMach]] microkernel) to alternatives please remember that the last released version number is 0.2. For example, Linux, the kernel, took awhile to mature. The Debian GNU/Hurd system is developing rapidly. Assistance with programming and support tasks is greatly appreciated. The general [Hardware Compatibility Guide](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html) is another good reference. Now for the list of known limitations of the Hurd.

-* ~1.5+ GB ext2 partition size limit ([[ExtTwoSize]])

-* missing hardware drivers. Current [[Mach/GnuMach]] drivers are from Linux 2.0. [[Mach/OskitMach]] will have Linux 2.2 drivers.
+Now, the list of known limitations of the Hurd.
 
-* swap is highly [recommended](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-7).
+* ~1.5+ GB ext2 partition size limit
+  * See [[ExtTwoSize]]
 
-* minimum of 8 MB has been reported to work, but 32 MB is more realistic. Don't forget to use plenty of swap space.
+* Missing device drivers.
+  * Current [[Mach/GnuMach]] drivers are from Linux 2.0.
+  * [[Mach/OskitMach]] currently has Linux 2.2 drivers.
 
-* 768 megabytes RAM maximum [approximately](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html#Memory).
+* Swap is [highly recommended](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-7), like on UNIX systems.
 
-* /dev/random and /dev/urandom default solutions missing (in progress, see [[RandomDevice]])
+* Minimum of 8 MB RAM has been reported to work, but 32 MB is more realistic. Don't forget to use plenty of swap space.
 
-* No dhcp client is present yet. (See [[DhcpClient]])
+* 768 megabytes RAM maximum [approximately](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html#Memory).
 
-* [[HurdConsole]] server not in CDs or tarballs yet -- Not true anymore 20030126 provides one -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 30 Jan 2003
+* Random devices, /dev/random and /dev/urandom, are not in the main distribution yet. These are needed by, for instance, OpenSSH.
+  * In progress, see [[RandomDevice]]
 
-* PthreadsLibrary not in CDs or tarballs yet -- May not be true anymore 20030126 provides new Hurd libraries -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 30 Jan 2003
-  * See [[PosixThreads]] -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 20 Mars 2003
+* No DHCP client will work yet.
+  * See [[DhcpClient]] - need to update TCP/IP server.
 
-* sound support missing (in progress)
+* [[HurdConsole]] server not in CDs or tarballs yet.
+  * Not true anymore [[Distrib/TarballNotes20030126]] provides.
 
-* um-pppd missing (see [[PppDaemon]])
+* PthreadsLibrary not in CDs or tarballs yet.
+  * May not be true anymore [[Distrib/TarballNotes20030126]] provides new Hurd libraries
+  * See [[PosixThreads]]
 
-* XFree86 is stabilizing
+* Sound support missing (in progress)
+  * [[Mach/OskitMach]] will provide
 
-* fatfs translator is stabilizing but it does not have partition limits that get in the way. ([0\.4 released Oct 6, 2002](http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/2002-October/010576.html))
+* PPP support, e.g., um-pppd missing.
+  * See [[PppDaemon]]
 
 * USB support is missing
 
-* [Ext3 implementation](http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~ogi/hurd/ext3fs/) is not started yet
-
-* Portability among alternate microkernels e.g. [darwin](http://developer.apple.com/darwin/) [L4](http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/)

--- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 03 Nov 2002
+* XFree86 is stabilizing
 
-A few items here are not specific are dependent or closely related to Hurd servers. Some has to do with more "distribution" or porting of other software in addition to Hurd server hooks. I'll leave it here for now. Most of it does belong in this web.
