When comparing the Hurd (including it's [[GnuMach]] microkernel) to alternatives please remember that the last released version number is 0.2. For example, the Linux Kernel took awhile to mature. The Debian GNU/Hurd system is developing rapidly. Assistance with programming and support tasks is greatly appreciated. The general [Hardware Compatibility Guide](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html) is another good reference. Now for the list of known Gnu/Hurd limitations.
* 1GB hard disk [partition limit](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-6)
+
* missing hardware drivers. Current [[GnuMach]] drivers are from Linux Kernel version 2.0. [[OskitMach]] will have Linux Kernel version 2.2 drivers.
+
* USB support is missing
+
* swap is highly [recommended](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-7).
+
* 768 megabytes RAM [approximately](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html).
+
* console server not released for oskit-mach (in progress)
+
* sound support missing (in progress)
+
* XFree86 is stabilizing
+
* fatfs translator is stabilizing
