Arch Hurd has a live CD: http://www.archhurd.org/ Otherwise you can install GNU/Hurd in a VM like qemu-kvm using the Debian installer: http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/ Make sure your computer has hardware support like AMD's SVM or Intel's VT. (a module you install in your host GNU/Linux kernel). Otherwise it will be _very_ slow. Good luck!
