These are generally available for people interested in [[contributing]], and who have already shown some level of involvement in the project. If you simply want to try the Hurd, the easiest way is running it in a virtual machine. An alternative to online shell access may be using a [[QEMU image|hurd/running/qemu]].

To request a non-DD account on them, please contact admin@{exodar,strauss}.debian.net, with your Alioth account name and a public ssh key. To request an account on the *[[bddebian]]* or *[[sceen]]* machines, please contact (don't forget to include your desired user name and public SSH key). Also use that contact address for requesting support, such as get additional packages installed.
