+It is with huge pleasure that the Hurd project announces the release of Debian
+GNU/Hurd 2013.  This is a snapshot of Debian sid at the time of the Debian
+Wheezy release (May 2013), so it is mostly based on Wheezy.  It is *not* an
+official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release.
+
+The installation ISO images can be downloaded from
+[[Debian Ports|http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/]]
+with the usual 3 Debian flavors: NETINST, CD, or DVD. A pre-installed disk image
+is also available to make trying Debian GNU/Hurd even easier.
+
+Yes, really. This time it is not a joke like the
+[[0.401 release|news/2011-04-01]] . Due to the very small amount of
+developers, the progress of the project has not been as fast as other successful
+Operating Systems, but we believe to have reached a very good state.
+
+Please make sure to read the
+[[configuration information|http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install]],
+the [[FAQ|faq]],
+and the [[translator primer|hurd/documentation/translator_primer]]
+for a start.
+
+We would like to thank all the people who have worked on GNU/Hurd over the past
+decades. There were not many people at any given time (and still not many people
+today, please [[join|contributing]]!), but in the end a lot of people have
+contributed one way or the other, thanks everybody!

+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
+detailed|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].
