Hmmm... How do you run the Hurd?  Do you run linux on bare metal and
then Hurd on qemu?  When you are typing "herd.local" what does that
mean?

I suppose that means on your linux machine you are typing "ssh
hurd.local"?

May I help you create your email into some kind of manual page/wiki
article/blog post?
