Meta-sites: (Single sites that fit into more than one category) and LRP/LEAF developer sites

---

Note: This section will grow as I migrate links from other sections here.

• LEAF (Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall) is a site where LRP derivatives can work together with eachother, and where LRP documentation and other contributions can be found.
• lrp.steinkuehler.net (Mirrors: 1 2 3) is the home of the Eigerstein series; it contains documentation, packages, images, and more.
• Jack Coates's site has quite useful docs and some good packages.
• Todd Horsman's LRP site has a difficult to find odds and ends -- specific disk images, modules, packages..
