GNU/HURD

GNU/HURD

Introduction:

When we talk about free software, we usually refer to the free software licenses. We also need relief from software patents. But there is a third type of freedom we need, and that's user freedom.
Expert users don't take a system as it is. They like to change the configuration, and they want to run the software that works best for them. That includes window managers as well as text editor. But even on a GNU/Linux system consisting only of free software, one can not easily use the filesystem format, network protocol or binary format one want without special privileges. In traditional unix systems, user freedom is restricted by the system administrator.
The Hurd removes these restrictions from the user. It provides an user extensible system framework without giving up POSIX compatibility and the unix security model.
