 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 [[MailLists]] or the [[HurdIRC]].

 * **_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]]

-While all official development takes place on the mailing lists and the Savannah trackers, 
-a lot of discussions are had on IRC as well. Everybody is welcome to join and follow these channels, but please 
-respect the below guidelines if you want to participate.
-
-# Asking Questions
- 
-Please follow these [guidelines](http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html)
-when asking your question.  Namely: spend some time trying
-to solve the problem on your own (e.g., [search the web](http://www.google.com),
-use this wiki, etc.), show us that you did so when you
-ask your question, and provide as many relevant details as possible
-reproducing them as exactly as possible.
-
-# Staying On-Topic
-
-Please try to stay on topic.
-
-* emacs vs. vi **is not** on topic
-* If it is appropriate for a **slashdot comment**, it's **not appropriate**
-  here
-* why GNU sucks is **off-topic**
-* when the next release of the Hurd will be **is inappropriate**
-* you should not advocate your favorite **GNU/Linux** ditribution
-
-# Pasting Logs
-
-Sometimes providing a log or some other excerpt of text can
-help solve a problem or answer a question.  **Do not** paste
-the log in the channel itself.  Instead use a
-[paste bin](http://paste.debian.net).
-
-# Rich Text
-
-
-Don't use it.  Don't use colors.  Don't use bold.  Don't use emphasis.
-
-# Greeting
-
-If you never contribute to the discussion, there is no need
-to always greet the channel when you enter and before leave.
-
