 # My Dotfiles

+This is a repository for my dotfiles. Be warned that these may often change and
+that the installation documentation may not always be correct as things
+progress.  In general the setup process is something that is only done when
+a new machine is purchased or I feel like testing in a virtual machine (which
+does not happen often).  It is helpful to have an understanding of what these
+commands do on your own.
