+The GNU/Hurd system is composed of the Hurd servers running on top of the
+GNU Mach microkernel. Mach only handles scheduling tasks and threads, memory
+management, and message passing. Mig is used to abstract RPCs on top of Mach's
+message passing. Eventually, the Hurd servers and Unix processes discuss with
+each other using these RPCs.
+
+Depending on your background, you may want to start reading the documentation
+from userlandish interfaces (Hurd) or from the micro kernel itself (Mach).
