Linux Documentation Index
People complain about documentation. Mostly, because there isn't any. Well, I'm a firm believer in documentation and I believe in communication of knowledge to others. Of course, this doesn't help much with documentation. The Linux stuff on campus has never been overly documented and documentation for actually doing any development work has been non-existent when not un-findable. So this web page is dedicated to being an index of the documentation that does exist for Linux or PAMS related things that I've worked on.
Comments, suggestions, corrections (I can't spell), and even questions have lots of places they can go:
- Realm Linux Mailing Lists
- linux at help.ncsu.edu - Open a help/problem ticket for Linux related things on NCSU's campus.
- Bugzilla - File a bug report against the NCSU Realm Kit for Red Hat Linux or the NCSUScyld Beowulf system.

This documentation describes the steps in adding packages and errata to the NCSU Realm Kit for Red Hat Linux. Hopefully, this well shed some light on how the Linux stuff works around campus.
