<P>
The GNU Hurd is under active development. Because of that, there is
no `stable' version. The latest released version is 0.2, and dates
back to 1997. This version should not be used anymore.
<P>
Although it is possible to bootstrap the GNU/Hurd system from the sources
by cross-compiling and installing the system software and the basic
applications, this is a difficult process. It is not recommended that
you do this. Instead, you should get a binary distribution of the
GNU/Hurd, which comes with all the GNU software precompiled and an
installation routine which is easy to use.
<P>
The <A HREF="http://www.debian.org/">Debian project</A> has commited
to provide such a binary distribution.
<A HREF="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">Debian GNU/Hurd</A> is
currently under development and available in the sid/unstable branch
of the Debian archive.

<A HREF="http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html">
The GNU/Hurd installation guide</A> written by Neal Walfield explains how
to install the Debian GNU/Hurd binary distribution of the Hurd.

<P>
The Debian GNU/Hurd binary distribution of the GNU/Hurd system can be
installed most conveniently from CD ROM. The complete Debian GNU/Hurd
snapshot fits on three CDs. Images of the current CD ROM set are
available within the directory <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/iso/"><SAMP>ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/iso/</SAMP></A>
of the GNU FTP server.
