>> Introducing TarHeel Linux - a secured desktop Linux distribution
>> tailored for UNC. Installation is extremely quick and easy on
>> recent CCI computers or compatible Intel-based hardware. It comes
>> with a large and ever-growing repository of Open Source software
>> built specifically with the UNC research community in mind. This
>> distribution uses UNC Onyen ids and passwords, and automatically
>> does nightly software updates and patches, along with basic
>> integrity scans. There is a Wiki available for TarHeel Linux
>> administrators, filled with documentation on best practices and
>> tips:

404s for me right now :-)

>> Some content on the Wiki is restricted to people who administer
>> TarHeel Linux hosts, but much of it is public.
