    2 = Welcome to the CAL Network trac installation =
     2= CAL Linux Network =
     3Welcome to our new CAL Linux network. The new network will function
     4outside of the Sun Solaris network and will supplant some of the functions of the Sun network such as
     5email, printing, and web hosting.
    36
    4 This is a wiki for the purpose of documenting the work being done to create the new CAL network.
     7Our servers and workstations will be based on the Debian/Ubuntu Linux distribution.
     8Special consideration was taken in selecting these distributions, the most important aspects being
     9stability, ease of administration, and security.

    6 == jumping-off points ==
     11In general, the functionality of the new Linux network will be transparent to the existing
     12computing environment. However, the new Linux workstations should see noticeable gains in speed due to
     13faster CPUs, and the updated (Gigabit) network infrastructure; including a more robust software and hardware platform that
     14will allow a wide range of peripherals such as DVD/CD burners, scanners, external drives, etc.

     16In terms of software, the requested Astronomical software packages will all be available
     17as well as some of the standard graphical and writing/productivity applications.
     18The majority of the software from the Sun systems will be available on the linux network.
