University IT generally works with Debian, and Ubuntu. UIT provides
local mirrors of these versions of Linux for local Stanford users.

Additional Stanford-specific Software Packages

University IT staff develop a variety of Stanford-specific software
packages for Linux systems. These include:

filter-syslog
remctl
wallet-client
...

Add the following to the file '/etc/apt/sources.list':
deb http://debian.stanford.edu/debian-stanford jessie main
