Sporadic efforts by numerous individuals have been made to keep the information in this wiki current. The hope that the primary development team would make this a canonical source has not been fulfilled. While some of the information and links here are still valid, unfortunately much is not. -- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 24 Jul 2007 ## The Hurd This part of the wiki is dedicated to the the Hurd servers, the most important components comprising the GNU operating system. Built on top of the Mach microkernel the servers are designed to replace the functionality provided by regular monolithic UNIX kernels. If you cannot find what you look for the topic might have been moved to the new Distrib, Mach or GNU webs. This has been done to help clarify the different aspects of the GNU/Hurd efforts for new users. For an introduction to this site, see .
