Ndiskwrapper is an application that taints the Linux kernel and allows it to use Windows drivers for devices.

Wikipedia
There was some talk about Wikipedia and edits. Supposedly, anyone can make annoymous

edits.

Nick then created an annapolis linux wiki which I was not able to find.

Someone was ranting about troubles with NFS/NIS. Although most mortals would

shun and shake at the sound of running applications on NIS and NFS, the government

does it all the time.

Here is a book that goes over how to keep NFS/NIS working.
