+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

+other features that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar
+kernels (such as Linux).

+interfaces for implementing the services an operating system needs
+from a full-featured kernel.
