+You can download a gzipped iso of a Hurd Live CD at
+<http://www.superunprivileged.org/hurd/live-cd/>.
+
+The Superunpriveleged crew also offers a tiny Hurd Live CD that is under 10
+MiB: <http://www.superunprivileged.org/hurd/tiny-cd/>
+
+Use it like this:
+
+ $ qemu -cdrom hurd-tiny-cd-20060722.iso
+
+A more recent Live CD can be found at <http://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/hurd/livecd/hurd-live-install-1273300101.iso.xz>.
+
+It can be run with qemu via
+
+ $ wget http://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/hurd/livecd/hurd-live-install-1273300101.iso.xz
+ $ xz -d hurd-live-install-1273300101.iso.xz
+ $ qemu -cdrom hurd-live-install-1273300101.iso
+
+These [[!wikipedia LiveCD]]s should be useful for those who want to try out the
+Hurd before they commit to installing it on their hard disks. In addition to
+that, the bootable Hurd CDs should enable us to have a native installer instead
+of relying on Linux.
