I am going through old email and finally getting around to looking a the
"Desupporting the SIPB Linux/Athena 8.4 Install" thread.

I glanced at new.html, and it looks like a good start.  Is there some
reason why the old FAQ and default page in web/linux/www still do not
incorporate the new info?

P.S.  I see that the ACS page still has not been updated, and I will
poke at folks there.
