The Hurd currently runs only on the Mach microkernel, but there is work to port it to the newer L4 microkernel. This article has the details about the current status of the Hurd/L4 port. It is primarily written for people familiar with Hurd/Mach, but who do not know L4.
Because of design differences between L4 and Mach (as is to be expected from 2 different kernels), a lot of infrastructural work still needs to be done; including a Virtual Memory Manager (VMM), getting glibc ported, and writing device drivers.
Article link
For me, the article link does not work. Doing a traceroute to the host shows that the host is unreachable. I've pasted it below, just in case anyone is interested. Because of this, i voted -1.

Worked Here
I read the article with no problem. Looks like a problem on your end reaper.
here is text ...
Port to the L4 microkernel
Written by Wolfgang J
Re: here is the text
Maybe put the text of the article in the story itself? That would be useful, and more visible than having it in a comment.
No Icon
In mozilla under Linux I can see the icons for specific topics. But in IE the icon is gone. This used to work before the page was overhauled.
RE: No Icon
The same problem effects Konqueror 3.0.2
That is a pleasent change
Does this site comply with standards?, if it does i could see why ie would have some trouble, but not konqueror.
Oh well i use mozilla on linux so i get to see the icon Woohoo :)
re: No Icon
That is very odd. I'd not noticed this before, using only Galeon and Mozilla myself. However using someone else's computer I stooped to using IE and see the problem myself.
Sorry, but I'll not be able to look into it for a few more weeks, when I return home. Then I'll at least fix it for Konqueror... ;)
