<H3>What is the GNU Hurd?</H3>
<P>
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).
<P>
If you have any news related to the Hurd project, feel free to send a
news entry to <A HREF="mailto:web-hurd@gnu.org">web-hurd@gnu.org</A>
