Gentoo GNU/Hurd

Дата публикации: 01-04-2026 05:00:00



We are proud to announce a new port of Gentoo to GNU Hurd!
Our crack team has been working hard to port Gentoo to the Hurd and can now share that
they’ve succeeded, though it remains still in a heavily experimental stage.
You can try Gentoo GNU/Hurd using a pre-prepared disk image. The easiest way to do this is with QEMU:
$ wget https://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/x86/hurd/hurd-i686-preview.qcow2.sig
$ wget https://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/x86/hurd/hurd-i686-preview.qcow2
$ gpg --verify hurd-i686-preview.qcow2.sig hurd-i686-preview.qcow2
$ qemu-system-i386 -drive file=hurd-i686-preview.qcow2,format=qcow2 -m 2G -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2222-:2222 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci --enable-kvm -M q35
To log in, input login root, then use gnuhurdrox as the password. Upon logging in,
you can run ./setup-net.sh and /etc/init.d/sshd restart to get SSH. Connect
via ssh -p 2222 root@127.0.0.1 on your host.
We have developed scripts to build
this image locally and conveniently work on further development of the Hurd port.
Release media like stages and automated image builds are future goals, as is feature
parity on x86-64. Further contributions are welcome, encouraged, and needed. Be patient,
expect to get your hands dirty, anticipate breakage, and have fun!
Oh, and Gentoo GNU/Hurd also works on real hardware!

We are proud to announce that Gentoo plans to switch to GNU Hurd as
its primary kernel. Our crack team of boffins has been working hard to port Gentoo
to the Hurd and can now share that that they’ve succeeded, though it remains still
in a heavily experimental stage.
Linux has long been a source of unreliability. Despite the experimental status of
the port, we’ve found the Hurd to be immensely more robust, and hope to
be able to discontinue Linux support by the end of 2026. Previous generations of
developers already attempted to port Gentoo to the Hurd, but the world was not yet
ready. It is now. You can try Gentoo GNU Hurd using a pre-prepared disk image. The
