Ok, this is how i went.
1) google Hurd I am feeling lucky goes to gnu website. lots of pointers to Hurd and Mach CVS and official user guides et al.
2) goto irc.feenode.net #hurd. ppl will help you out but , be ware no silly questions the hurd ppl are really busy hacking so they dont like lame things. so dont skip step 1
AFAIK the hurd runs on Mach which is quite slow. so ppl are trying to shift ( port ) to OSKit and in the future to thing called l4 ( google it ). But l4 is written in C++. so hurd needs to be ported again.
What i dont understand is that WHY linux and Hurd binaries are incompatible. and why cant there be a simple mechnism which can be used so that Linux drivers can be compiled to Hurd servers. ( althought linux 2.2 drivers have been ported ot some extent )
pls excuse my newbieness on this topic.
