-OSKit Mach began as a branch of the [[GnuMach]] 1.2 kernel, but since the release of GNU Mach 1.3, OSKit Mach has been merged as the new [[GnuMach]] 2.x mainline. There are some other interesting notes about the [[MachHistory]] including other operating systems who use Mach in thier kernels.
+OSKit-Mach began as a branch of the [[GnuMach]] 1.2 kernel, but since the release of GNU Mach 1.3, OSKit-Mach has been merged as the new [[GnuMach]] 2.x mainline. The [[MachHistory]] page tells a more interesting story including other operating systems who use Mach in their kernels.
GNU Mach 2.0 makes use of the drivers provided by [the OSKit](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/) from [the Flux Research Group](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/). The OSKit provides a neat driver base where both [[FreeBSD]] and Linux (2.2.12) drivers are made available to [Mach](http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/www/mach.html) and thus the Hurd.

+The [[OskitMachStatusList]] tells what is required before GNUmach 2.0 (a.k.a. OSKit-Mach) goes mainstream. Status of the new console/term is on that page. The [[Hurd/MailLists]], or the [[HurdIRC]] is, like always, the best source of more current information.

You can also, to some extent, run a [Neighbor Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/howto/subhurd.html) (sub-hurd) to debug or replicate problems.
