Re: Hello World!!

Okay I found a building page on the site. I'm going to try and figure it out. I just found out that I can get the packages using apt-get source package-name-here and then rebuild on an x86-64 build. If I manage to get a resulting image, I'll place it in a repo at https://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation. The Debian folks are welcome to use it.

Most development on the HURD and the GNU Mach Kernel occurs upstream,
and there are a range of uptream mailing lists at

http://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=hurd

Also, there is a channel #hurd on irc.freenode.net where the
developers gather to discuss things.

If you want to port to another architecture, first you will want
getting a Debian GNU/Hurd running in Xen or Qemu to ease debugging the
system. Qemu images are built regularly, and instructions for running
are at:
