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.

+ <dd> There are fundamentally different issues when you talk about coding servers and checking in CVS than when you are targeting the distribution and final default configuration of packaged software and offering it as a whole. Distributions take all the necessary software and help make then work better together, hopefully giving the user a feeling of using an organized OS. </dd>
