We distribute the Hurd sources only through CVS at present. Although it is possible to bootstrap the GNU/Hurd system from the sources by cross-compiling and installing the system software and the basic applications, this is a difficult process. It is not recommended that you do this. Instead, you should get a binary distribution of the GNU/Hurd, which comes with all the GNU software precompiled and an installation routine which is easy to use. The Debian project has commited to provide such a binary distribution. [[Debian_GNU/Hurd|running/debian]] is currently under development and available in the *unstable* branch of the Debian archive. --- [[toc ]] # Introduction * [[What_Is_the_GNU_Hurd]] - A Brief Description * [[Advantages]] * [[History]] * [[Logo]] * [[Status]] * [[KnownHurdLimits]] * [[Translation]] - Localized sites about the Hurd * [[Donate]] * [[SeenHurd]] - Media references * [[Shopping]] - Hurd Gear * [[FunnyHurd]] - From a different Herd * [[FAQ]] # Understanding * Introductory Material * [[Documentation]] * [Gaël Le Mignot](http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/pres-en/slides/slides.html) * Architecture * [[Towards_a_New_Strategy_of_OS_Design|documentation/hurd-paper]] by Thomas Bushnell, BSG. * Marcus Brinkmann's [revisit](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2005-10/msg00651.html) * Jonathan S.
