-In addition to the [general FAQ](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html#TOCfaq) there are the following typical newbie questions. (There is an [updated version](http://tuxou.ouvaton.org/hurd/) which is not official yet.)
-
-If you still have problems, do not hesitate to make use of the [[MailingLists]] or the [[IRC]].
-
-* **_You say GNU, don't you mean GNU/Hurd?_**
-  * Yes and no. GNU refers to the system as a whole, while GNU/Hurd is more specific, saying that it is the GNU system running on the Hurd -- to differentiate it from the GNU system running on Linux, GNU/Linux. Also see [[GNU/GnuNames]]
-
-* **_What editor can I use?_**
-  * `nano` is the default editor on a fresh install, not `ae`.
-
-* **_Why can't I get the answers I need from Hurd hackers?_**
-  * This [document](http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) may help you understand some developers attitudes and social norms.
-
-* **_Where are the virtual consoles I use when running GNU/Linux?_**
-  * You need to [use screen](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q4-6) instead, also available when running GNU/Linux.
-  * The [new console](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200209/msg00054.html) by Marcus Brinkmann could also be used. It supports the Alt-Fn keys for switching like in GNU/Linux. NOTE: that message has an error in the configuration steps, it says `/dev/vts` when it means `/dev/vcs`. A more up-to-date howto is [[HurdConsole]].
-
-* **_What is a translator?_**
-  * The official FAQ [answers](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q4-2) this question by a reference to [hurd-doc-translator](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-doc-translator).
-
-* **_Where's the sauce?_**
-  * It's on [Savannah](http://savannah.gnu.org). See also the [GNU Development Resources](http://www.gnu.org/software/devel.html), for more information.
-
-* **_What is this "libio" stuff?_**
-  * There was an ABI change for glibc0.3. It's recommended you reinstall your GNU/Hurd system if you run a system installed before the summer of 2002. This is a similar cause for the various Linux distributions who changed from libc5 to libc6 or glibc2 around 1998.
-
-* **_What is GNU Mach vs. oskit-mach?_**
-  * These are different versions of the Mach microkernel that supports the Hurd that runs on top of it. For more info, see [[Mach]]
-
-* **_What software is available for GNU?_**
-  * Most packages from [Debian](http://www.debian.org/) [GNU/Linux](http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html) which aren't linux-specific ([Packages That Won't Be Ported](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-devel-debian)) are expected to work on GNU/Hurd too. See the database in <http://packages.debian.org/>. Programs which need pthreads, including [GNOME](http://www.gnome.org), [KDE](http://www.kde.org), [Mozilla](http://www.mozilla.org), [OpenOffice](http://www.openoffice.org), [SDL](http://www.libsdl.org), etc. are being worked on currently using Neal Walfields libpthreads. See the [[Distrib/PortingIssues]] document for some common build problems and their solutions.
-  * If you can't fetch a package with "apt-get install ", try building it from source: "apt-get source  &amp;&amp; cd &lt;package\_dir&gt; &amp;&amp; debian/rules binary".
-  * As of January 2007, 50% of Debian packages have been ported on the Hurd. Of course, bug testing is welcome.
-
-* **_How do I initialize a serial console on the Hurd?_**
-  * You can try out the Serial Howto at <http://www.nongnu.org/thug/serial-howto.txt>
-  * For a real serial console at boot time you need to rebuild your GNUmach 1.x kernel. For more info see the Utah release notes at [http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/mach4-i386/html/mach4-UK22.html#serial\_console](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/mach4-i386/html/mach4-UK22.html#serial_console)
-
-* **_Will GNU work in Vmware?_**
-  * It's highly recommended and easier to get a full image for Bochs. See [[Distrib]]
-  * It didn't use to, [Hurd bootstrap fails](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200207/msg00069.html). Vmware is not [free software](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and it is [[Distrib/VmWare]]. We recommend to use [free](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) alternatives, like [[Distrib/BochsEmulator]].
-  * A faster, more widespread and [free](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) recent alternative is [QEMU](http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Distrib/QEMU). You can find more informations on [[running/QEMU]].
-  * If someone prefers using VMWare:
-    * It works with VMWare Workstation 4.0.5 build-6030.
-    * Running Debian GNU/HURD in VMWare works for me -- [[Main/MichaelAblassmeier]] - 03 Mar 2004

-It is possible to run multiple instances of the Hurd
-in parallel, on a single instance of Mach.  Other than
-performance crosstalk, they are essentially isolated.
-Practically, as many devices do not allow multiple
-non-cooperating users, e.g., hard drive and network
-this is not currently possible.  It can be overcome,
-however, by virtualizing these problematic devices.
-
-When extra hardware is not available, it is possible to
-use a sub-hurd.  A sub-Hurd is like a neighbor Hurd,
-however, makes use of some resources provided by another
-Hurd.  For instance, backing store and the console.
-([[SubhurdHowto]])
-
-Sub-hurds are extremely useful for debugging core
-servers as it is possible to attach to them with gdb
-from the parent ([[DebuggingViaSubhurds]].  This avoids
-deadlock, e.g., when the instance of gdb stops the
-server but requires its use.
-(Note: it is possible to use [[NonInvasiveDebugging]],
-but this is less flexible.)

-From Marcus, 2002:
-
-* xkb driver for console (for international users)
-* kbd leds in console (well, in general, Roland's new driver in oskit for that crap)
-* fixing fakeroot (it's buggy)
-* fixing tmpfs (it's buggy, Neal says it's Mach's fault)
-* adding posix shared memory (requires the io\_close call to be implemented)
-* adding posix file locking (requires the io\_close call to be implemented)
-* testing
-  * find + various filesystems (are inode numbers for . and .. sane?)
-  * ext2fs with other block sizes than 4096
-  * --help and --version and --usage in all programs
-    * I have seen ^V in some --help output, might be argp bug
-    * Verify that all options are documented clearly, and that no unimplemented options appear
-    * Is the short and long description in the help output correct?
-  * Is the return value of all programs correct (eg, does main() return a sane value)
-  * Is the suid bit correctly set for all installed programs?
-  * Translators
-    * Does settrans -g work? -fg?
-    * Does fsysopts work? Does setting options with fsysopts work?
-    * Does stat() work on all translated nodes and give proper data?
-    * What about chown, chmod (some translators should pass this through to the underlying node, esp in /dev!)
-    * Does statfs give correct data?
-    * Are all inode numbers and link counts correct?
-* We also should have a "make check" test suite. We can add this once Jeff finished his automake patches
-* pick up the other things
-  * pthread, definitely. Now that we are so close
-  * new console is basically done
-    * needs integration of course
-    * X switching support
-* there is certainly more to do ...

-# Porting Applications
-
-Debian is currently the Hurd distribution of choice among Hurd
-users and developers.  Approximately half of the Debian archive
-has been compiled successfully on the Hurd, however, many
-programs fail to build for various reasons.  A [list of build 
-failures including error messages](http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/hurd-i386_Failed.html)
-can be found, as well as a [preliminary analysis](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00000.html)
-of them. If you want to port any of these, file patches in the 
-[Alioth patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse)
- for review. It might be a good idea to record your intention 
-to port something in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=34&group_id=30628&func=browse) so other people do not do duplicated work. You can also just 
-install the Hurd and find what doesn't work for you and port 
-it and then file patches for that package in [above patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse).
-Another important task is making sure that patches go upstream as 
-well, especially for GNU projects.
-
-If you want to further development, a list of interesting 
-projects is available in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=35&group_id=30628&func=browse).
-Those projects are not necessarily Debian specific, but do
-not touch the Hurd proper.
-
-# Hurd Proper
-
-If you are interested in developping the Hurd proper, there is
-plenty of work to do.  Before you can significantly contribute,
-take some time to learn about the system, e.g.,
-[[microkernels_for_beginners|microkernel/for_beginners]].  Until you can do the basic exercises
-listed there, you won't be able to significantly contribute to
-the Hurd.
-
-See the [[ToDo]].
-
-# GNU Mach
-
-GNU Mach is the underlying microkernel used by the Hurd.  It has
-a number of deficencies; [[mach/gnumach/RevivalProject]].

-Sometimes using gdb on a server can result in
-deadlock.  You can still use gdb by using
-the "set noninvasive" option.  This indicates
-to gdb to not stop the program but allows you to
-nevertheless examine its state.  Thus, you can get back traces
-and value of variables (and watch them change underneath you).
