You are interested in getting familiar with the GNU/Hurd system architecture,
or specific components of it? Here is a collection of texts to read.
/!\ A lot of stuff is still missing ([[!taglink open_issue_documentation]]).

# Basic Knowledge
Before you can go details, you have to learn the basics about operating system
architecture. Yes, really.
## Operating Systems Basics
Books. Etc.
## GNU/Hurd System Architecture
### Capabilities
[[!toggleable id=shapiro_capintro_1999 text="""[[!template id=note

{{$capability#shapiro_capintro_1999}}.

* Our use of [[capabilities|capability]]. The
{{$capability#wikipedia_capability-based_security}} article.
Alternatively/additionally, [[!toggle id=shapiro_capintro_1999
text="[shapiro\_capintro\_1999]"]].
In the GNU/Hurd system, a [[capability]] is represented by a [[Mach
port|microkernel/mach/port]].
* {{$capability#wikipedia_object-capability_model}}. Albeit not directly
tailored at the GNU/Hurd operating system architecture, this artice anyway
does a good job at describing general principles of a [[capability]]-based
system architecture.
