-This site focuses on providing user-centric and update-able (and hopefully the
-most current) information regarding the status and development of the
-GNU project's GNU operating system.  There are many areas to comment on the
-core component (the Hurd) and other very closely related but distinct projects.
-This is an all volunteer effort intended to supplement the [official Hurd

+The Hurd is a collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel

+other features that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar
+kernels (such as Linux).  *[[More_detailed.|hurd/what_is_the_gnu_hurd]]*

-## What is the Hurd?
-
-The [[Hurd]] is GNU's replacement for the various UNIX and Linux kernels.
-
-The Hurd is firstly a collection of protocols formalizing how different
-components may interact.  The protocols are designed to reduce the mutual
-[[trust]] requirements of the actors thereby permitting a more
-[[extensible|Extensibility]] system.  These include interface definitions
-to manipulate files and directories and to resolve path names.  This allows
-any process to implement a file system.  The only requirement is that it
-have access to its backing store and that the principal that started it
-own the file system node to which it connects.
-
-The Hurd is also a set of servers that implement these protocols.  The
-servers run on top of [[microkernel/Mach]] and use Mach's
-[[microkernel/mach/IPC]] mechanism to transfer information.
-
-The word *Hurd* is commonly used to refer to one of the following:
-
-  * the Hurd software that runs on top of a [[microkernel]] (most precisely)
-  * a machine running the [[Debian_GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]] distribution
-  * the [GNU Hurd](http://hurd.gnu.org/) project including related dependent
-    projects
-  * HIRD of UNIX Replacing Daemons (arguably)
-    * HIRD is an acronym for HURD Interfaces Representing Depth (arguably)
-
-The [[Hurd]] supplies the last major software component needed for a complete
-[[GNU]] operating system as originally conceived by Richard M. Stallman (RMS)
-in 1983.  The GNU vision directly drove the creation and has guided the
-evolution of the [Free Software Foundation](http://www.fsf.org/), the
-organization that is the home of the [GNU project](http://www.gnu.org/gnu/).
