# Network Solutions

Presented here is an overview of solutions that are essential and
indispensable for any college campus or departmental network.

The goal of this note is to explain what these solutions are, how they
work, why they are useful and how they provide more value to everyone
while enabling us to become more effective in whatever we do.

There are three core ideologies which form the basis for our
discussion here:

* Free / Open Source Software,
* Self-Hosting, and
* Build-it-Yourself
