-It is possible to run multiple instances of the Hurd
-in parallel, on a single instance of Mach. Other than
-performance crosstalk, they are essentially isolated.
-Practically, as many devices do not allow multiple
-non-cooperating users, e.g., hard drive and network
-this is not currently possible. It can be overcome,
-however, by virtualizing these problematic devices.
-
-When extra hardware is not available, it is possible to
-use a sub-hurd. A sub-Hurd is like a neighbor Hurd,
-however, makes use of some resources provided by another
-Hurd. For instance, backing store and the console.

-Sub-hurds are extremely useful for debugging core
-servers as it is possible to attach to them with gdb
-from the parent ([[DebuggingViaSubhurds]]. This avoids
-deadlock, e.g., when the instance of gdb stops the
-server but requires its use.
-(Note: it is possible to use [[NonInvasiveDebugging]],
-but this is less flexible.)
