This web is about the distribution of the software. Right now the Debian GNU/Hurd operating system is the only organized distribution. However a non-Debian GNU OS distribution is being discussed.

Distributions take all the necessary software and help make then work better together, hopefully giving the user a feeling of using an organized OS. </dd>
