%\chapter{Abstract}

\begin{abstract}

The GNU HURD is currently only available for the Intel i386 and
compatible processors.  It was always intended to run on as many
architectures as possible.  This report examines the portability
of the GNU HURD.  It initially describes the approach of attempting
to port the Mach microkernel, on which HURD is based, to the ARM
processor.  It then addresses the question of attempting to port
HURD to the L4 microkernel.
