Debian GNU/Hurd is the Debian project's distribution of the GNUoperating system, using the GNU Hurdmicrokernel. Debian GNU/Hurd has been in development since 1998,[3] and made a formal release in May 2013, with 78% of the software packaged for Debian GNU/Linux ported to the GNU Hurd.[4] The Debian GNU/Hurd developers were hoping to be able to release it with Debian "Wheezy"[5][6] in 2013.[7] However, Hurd is not yet an official Debian release, and is maintained and developed as an unofficial port.
According to the GNU/Hurd compatibility guide, the current version is compatible with laptops but there is no PCMCIA support yet.[8]
Debian GNU/Hurd is distributed as an installer CD (running the official Debian installer) or ready-to-run virtual disk image (Live CD, Live USB). The CD uses the IA-32 architecture, making it compatible with IA-32 and x86-64 PCs.
The current version of Debian GNU/Hurd is 2015, published in April 2015.
