Hurd
The Hurd will be the foundation of the whole GNU system. It
is built on top of the Mach 3.0 kernel, a free
{message-passing} kernel developed by CMU. Mach's {virtual
memory} management and message-passing facilities are
extensively used by the Hurd. The GNU C Library will provide
the Unix system call interface, and will call the Hurd for
needed services it can't provide itself.
One goal of the Hurd is to establish a framework for shared
development and maintenance. The Hurd is like GNU Emacs in
that it will allow a broad range of users to create and share
useful projects without knowing much about the internal
workings of the system -- projects that might never have been
attempted without freely available source, a well-designed
interface, and a multi-server-based design.
Currently there are free ports of the Mach kernel to the
Intel 80386 IBM PC, the DEC PMAX workstation, the
Luna 88k and several other machines, with more in
progress, including the Amiga and DEC Alpha-3000
machines. Contact , if you want to help with
one of these or start your own. Porting the GNU Hurd and GNU
C Library is easy (easier than porting GNU Emacs, certainly
easier than porting GCC) once a Mach port to a particular
platform exists.
