This page attempts to be a reference for all resources related to Debian GNU/Hurd that can be useful for users and developers. Feel free to add more stuff as you see fit.
"In a discussion with the Debian Hurd porters it was decided that the
Hurd port stays on FTPMaster until Wheezy is released. Should they
have managed to get the port into a state that it is released together
with all the others (probably as a technology preview), it is kept in
the archive. Should they not manage this the port will be removed from
the main archive and move fully to Debian unofficial ports."
What is Debian GNU/Hurd ?
Debian GNU/Hurd
is an operating system from Debian, but which uses
GNU Hurd
, which is a set of servers, running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel instead of the kernel named
Linux
(thus the name Debian GNU/Hurd). Some day, most applications will exist both in
Debian GNU/Hurd
and in
Debian GNU/Linux
