The top introduction page of the **[Hurd TWiki has MOVED](http://hurd.gnufans.org/)**. :cool: This topic (html page) is for anything related SPECIFICALLY to the _Hurd software_, the core of the GNU operating system. Please take note of shifts as we are moving data around to accomodate the new TWiki webs. We hope this will help clarify the different aspects of the GNU/Hurd efforts for new users.

_Each new web (section of the site) is more focused on one aspect of the development effort._
