Introduction to the Hurd

-

-The GNU Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel. -The Hurd 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). -

-Currently, the Hurd runs on IA32 machines. The Hurd should, and -probably will, be ported to other hardware architectures or other -microkernels in the future. -

Advantages of the Hurd

The Hurd is not the most advanced kernel known to the planet (yet), but it does have a number of enticing features: @@ -135,15 +53,6 @@ start using and developing it. -

What the Hurd means
