Gentoo-Hurd: Unofficial port to Gentoo & the portage system. It was announced March 17, 2003 in the Gentoo forums. There's a #gentoo-irc channel similar to [[Hurd/HurdIRC]]. At present (May 2005), there's no activity and Eric Olinger has not the time to maintain this distri.

Bee GNU/Hurd: Castellano distribution, pkgsrc package based. [[BochsEmulator]] image available too. They have their own wiki and a mail list (no archive).
