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.
Since this Distrib TWiki "web" is new and we are still migrating data to it, please look at the original [[Hurd/WebHome]] TWiki web as well.
