OSS/Linux Web Pages at penguin.triumf.ca

On this web site you will find a variety of examples and 'how to' information related to Open Source Software topics. It isn't guaranteed to be accurate, up-to-date, or even useful. It's just 'there' in the spirit of knowledge and idea sharing that is at the heart of the Open Source approach.

The example server recipes are Red Hat / Fedora based; however most of these examples apply readily to other freenix distributions.

Please contact me if you have questions, or if you notice significant and/or annoying errors. Content may change considerably over the next few months as files and directories are updated (and this poor site gets moved _again_ :-O).

Note that this site was previously hosted in the epfl.ch domain as penguin.epfl.ch, misc.epfl.ch, lthsec.epfl.ch and sciconphp.epfl.ch. The node hosting these pages died, but has recently been resurrected as a redirect site.
