+It is with huge pleasure that the Debian GNU/Hurd team announces the
+**release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2015**.
+
+This is a snapshot of Debian "sid" at the time of the stable Debian
+"jessie" release (April 2015), so it is mostly based on the same
+sources. It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official
+[[Debian GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]] port release.

+
+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]].
