This is a snapshot of Debian sid at the time of the Debian +Wheezy release (May 2013), so it is mostly based on Wheezy. It is *not* an +official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release. + +The installation ISO images can be downloaded from +http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/ +with the usual Debian 3 flavors: NETINST, CD, or DVD. A pre-installed disk image +is also available to make trying Debian GNU/Hurd even easier. + +Yes, really. This time it is not a joke like the +[[0.401 release|news/2011-04-01.html]] . Due to the very small amount of +developers, the progress of the project has not been as fast as other successful +Operating Systems, but we believe to have reached a very good state. + +Please make sure to read the +[[configuration information|http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install]], +the [[FAQ|faq]], +and the [[translator primer|hurd/documentation/translator_primer]] +for a start. + +--- + +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]]. + +**GNU Mach** is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based. It +provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism that the Hurd uses to +define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the +services a traditional operating system kernel provides.
