1. New documents @ The LDP

Two new documents were added to our collection this week:

  * Eric Meyerhoff published v1.0 of the [http://tldp.org/HOWTO/
    Installfest-HOWTO/] Linux Installfest HOWTO, which provides guidelines
    for running a successful installation party.
   
  * Alex Brennen polished and completed his [http://tldp.org/HOWTO/
    Kerberos-Infrastructure-HOWTO/] Kerberos Infrastructure HOWTO so that it
    can serve the general public. We have v2.0 of this document for you,
    describing design and configuration of a Kerberos infrastructure. The
    document starts out with an introduction to Kerberos and a theoretical
    overview of the mechanism, and then details server setup and client
    configuration.
