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).

Some ISOs: GNUAB has some images and packages available at http://ftp.gnuab.org for the unreleased (not unstable) Debian distro

Debain Infrastructure: Testing is critical in helping the development effort. Bugs (defect reports) can be filed against the Debian software package in which they are found. [[BtsFiling]] tells how to file a Debian bug report. [[DebianPackages]] has some information about how Debian splits the software into packages and some references. There is a buildd autobuilder compiling the Debian Sid archive software for the GNU/Hurd port. [[BuilddStatus]] includes information on the buildd & turtle efforts.

Uninstallable packages: Many packages depend on these uninstallable packages. So building one of them will allow other to be build too.

Later, it was extended to allow for distributed OS support. A group of workstations with Mach can act as a single powerful SMP machine. Thus, Mach is also called a Single System Image (SSI). The Mach micro kernel provides a good infrastructure for distributed computing, including thread migration, inter-thread communition (both locally and remotely), load balancing and fault-tolerance. The Hurd, using Mach as a foundation, has great potential for distributed computing. Progress toward distributed kernel designs is proceeding within other projects as well. OpenMosix is a related projects for Linux kernels.
