There are GNU/Hurd boxes that we're offering shell accounts on. These are generally available for people interested in [[contributing]], and who have already shown some level of involvement in the project. If you simply want to try the Hurd, the easiest way is running it in a virtual machine.

An alternative to online shell access may be using a [[QEMU image|hurd/running/qemu]].

If you are a Debian Developer, you can log into the exodar machines with your DD account, your public ssh keys are already there. To request a non-DD account on them, please contact [email protected], with your Alioth account name and a public ssh key.

To request an account on the [[bddebian]] or [[sceen]] machines, please contact [email protected] (don't forget to include your desired user name and public SSH key). Also use that contact address for requesting support, such as get additional packages installed.

For easy access, you should append your public SSH key(s) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine.

Also, add the following stanza to the ~/.ssh/config file of the machine you're connecting from.
