Hi folks,
Here's the revised version of os-faq. Jeff, congrats on the new
site. It's going to be of great help to everyone involved with the
hurd. I included a link to hurddocs.sourceforge.net . Will this link be
viable for the future? I reckon it doesn't have to sound pretty(the
link) but it should be functional.

Title: the_hurd_blurb
The
GNU
Hurd is a
dynamic
operating system being written by a group of core developers lead by Thomas
Bushnell, BSG. The Hurd itself is a
system
of servers using
translators
for the user/server interface that run on top of the
GNU
Mach microkernel to manage such things as file systems, network protocols,
file access, and other features. A satellite development group is
in the process of porting libraries and applications as well as finding
bugs in preparation for the
Debian
GNU/Hurd distribution. A page for recent
development
status and several mailing lists;
help-hurd,
debian-hurd
and
bug-hurd
with their associated archives at
gnu.org
and
debian.org
for development communications. Several unofficial web sites for
the Hurd can be found at:
http://hurddocs.sourceforge.net/
,
http://www.crosswinds.net/~gnuhurd/
and
http://hurd.sourceforge.net/
.
