What is the GNU Hurd?

-

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]].

What is the mission of the GNU Hurd project?

-

Our mission is to create a general-purpose kernel suitable -for the GNU operating system, which is viable for everyday use, -and gives users and programs as much control over their -computing environment as possible. -[[Our_mission_explained|community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]].
