The last time I had read the mailing lists ssh was having problems with 
the random
number generator (/dev/random), so that's the main thing I wanted to 
know. I'd like to
be able to access that computer via my windows computer.

The URL/source line is what I was wondering about with sources.list, 
unless I can just use
http://http.us.debian.org and it figures out on its' own that i want 
Hurd binaries and not
GNU/Linux ones.

I'll give it a shot and see if it sees my network card; if it doesn't I 
can always reinstall
whatever

Thanks again!
