Installing +[[Debian_GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]] will probably be the easiest and most +feature-complete solution. If you don't have spare hardware to use for doing +so, you can also get a +[[shell_account_on_a_public_Hurd_machine|public_hurd_boxen]]. Depending on the +things you're going to work on (and on your internet connection), this may be +an easy way of getting used to Hurd systems. + +Then you can either play around and eventually strive to do something +useful or -- if you want -- ask us to assign something to you, depending +on the skills you have and the resources you intend to invest. + +See <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/devel.html> for details, +<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html> for documents, +<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/> in general and also this whole wiki, of +course. |
