+The year is 2026 and Gentoo is perhaps ready for an advanced kernel:
+the GNU Hurd.
+
+[...]
+
+Scripts to build a working image that can be booted in QEMU can be
+found at https://codeberg.org/thesamesam/gentoo-hurd (will move that to
+Gentoo infra).

+
+The **GNU Hurd** is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.  It is a
+collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement file
+systems, network protocols, file access control, and other features that are
+implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels (such as Linux).  [[More
+detailed|hurd/documentation]].
+
+**GNU Mach** is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based.  It
+provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism that the Hurd uses to
+define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the
+services a traditional operating system kernel provides.  [[More
