inserting information from Felicia and the source code about Image::Magick

    1: <!--  This file is meant to catalog critical system
    2:       functionality necessary for the operation of
    3:       a LON-CAPA server.  Note that these capabilities
    4:       describe operating system capabilities (not
    5:       educational feature capabilities).
    6: 
    7:       The idea is that this file becomes a central point
    8:       for the verification of existing operating system
    9:       capabilities.

   12: <!-- This file does NOT represent an exhaustive list
   13:      of software packages.  Nor can this file perfectly
   14:      automate the handling of software packages on
   15:      a RedHat linux system.  Due to differing
   16:      configuration settings, the shaky nature of software
   17:      dependencies, and machine states across the LON-CAPA
   18:      network, there has not yet been a perfect automation
   19:      of LON-CAPA server system duplication.
   20: 
   21:      Someday, maybe our grandkids will release LON-CAPA on
   22:      pre-installed indestructible palm-pilot-sized units
   23:      and then there will be no installation problems.
   24:      (I have to say something melodramatic, I am watching
   25:       Star Trek right now.)
