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.
