#language en ~-[[DebianWiki/EditorGuide#translation|Translation(s)]]: English - [[pt/TheHurd|Português]]-~ ---- GNU/Hurd is the name of the GNU operating system when TheHurd is used as the kernel. The Hurd is a !MultiServer !MicroKernel [[POSIX]]-emulating operating system kernel, based on the Mach microkernel, although there has been talk about porting it to the [[L4]] microkernel too. Currently, TheHurd is not in a production-ready state yet, but you can still install it, if you just work a bit and already got linux working. You have to use [[Grub]] to boot ([[LILO]] doesn't support "Mach"), which is a good thing anyway. You can follow also the instructions about Hurd on [[QEMU]]: http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/hurd/running/qemu/ <> = What the name "Hurd" means = According to Thomas Bushnell, BSG, the primary architect of the Hurd, "Hurd' stands for 'Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'. And, then, 'Hird' stands for 'Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'. We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms."
