Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.

Remove packages that cause problems.: blcr-dkms 0.8.2 does not work on kernels newer than 2.6.30. 0.8.4 only works with 2.6.38. If you need this package you must revert to such a kernel, if not, simply remove it. Since blcr 0.8.2-15ubuntu2.1, the blcr-dkms package can be safely removed without wanting to remove libcr0 and openmpi as well, see LP:#1005524.; sudo apt-get -y purge blcr-dkms
We don't want clear text passwords being used for network connections:: sudo apt-get -y purge telnet rsh-server rsh-client
We don't want command-not-found:: sudo apt-get -y purge command-not-found command-not-found-data
We don't want any packages that tamper with /etc/resolv.conf:: sudo apt-get -y purge resolvconf
Nore do we want anything playing with our network setup.: sudo apt-get -y purge network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome
We don't leave games on the servers (sigh):: sudo apt-get -y purge gnome-games gnome-games-data
We have a fixed set of Shells and Scripting languages we offer: sudo apt-get -y install uwcs-shells
Users expect those shells to be named in /etc/shells:: /bin/ls -1 /xhbin/*sh >> /etc/shells
and now make sure everything is up-to-date while accepting the package maintainer's recommendations for companion packages.: sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
with no extras left laying around.: sudo apt-get -y autoremove; sudo apt-get -y autoclean; reboot
