	Welcome to the Peyton Hall Documentation pages. In here, we hope to have information to help you ~~understand~~ and ~~use the computer systems~~ in Peyton Hall ~~- though we're not limiting this system to only~~ computer documentation ~~either~~, ~~so other things can be added too~~!		Welcome to the Peyton Hall Documentation pages. In here, we hope to have information to help you with life in and around Princeton, in Peyton Hall, as well as all of our computer documentation and FAQs.

	== Computer ~~documentation~~ ==		== General Information ==
	The initial reason for this system - and the systems that have preceded it - is to store information in a searchable and indexed fashion relating to the computer systems in Peyton. You can use the "Search" box to the left to type in a subject, or error message, and hopefully find the answer you're seeking. You can also browse around the site to learn new things. You might try the articles on [[Peyton Hall Network DOs and DON'Ts]], [[Hardware]], [[Software]], [[Mac Info]], [[General UNIX info]], [[Printing]] or [[Email]], or maybe browse the categories for [[:Category:Unix Commands\|Unix Commands]] or [[:Category:Cluster Computing\|Cluster Computing]]. If you like, you can look at the [[Special:Categories\|list of categories]], or even the [[Special:Allpages\|list of all pages]].		Some of the pages in here aim to help you with adjusting to life at Princeton University and the department. [[Life In and Around Princeton]] provides advice on housing, daycare, transportation and local shopping areas, while [[Life in Peyton Hall and On Princeton's Campus]] has information about parking, library services, and specifics about the staff and people in Peyton Hall and other affiliated departments. [[Other Academic Information]] has some insight to related programs, such as the prison teaching program and the astrobiology club. All of the general pages should be in the [[:Category:General\|general category]] so you should be able to find an index of them there, though others may be tangentially related and therefore not linked. The search box on the left side can always be used to find any text in the docs.
