never heard of this, does it mean 32bit intel?
Yes.
still not sure after reading the web page, is hurd
a linux type kernel replacement?
It's a mutli-server, so it + a microkernel (Mach) replace a monolithic
Linux kernel.
would precompiled elf's work on hurd, are the linux
libraries in anyway binary compatable?
The Hurd is intended to be source-compatible with POSIX-compliant
kernels like Linux, but not binary-compatible.
I think that the site is fine from the point of view of
someone who already has a grasp of what hurd is...
some screen shots would be nice...
Here it is running X and BlackBox.

is the install as user unfriendly as debian? or worse
still like slackwares?
A little rockier than Debian GNU/Linux
if i'm used to programming gtk and c++ in linux, how
long would it take me to convert my skills to produce
applications in hurd?
Avoid use of MAXPATHLEN. Really, when programming you rarely target a
kernel, but an interface (C, POSIX, GTK, etc.)
