You should leave a "drip loop" right before the hole where the cable enters the building. This will prevent water from running along the cable and getting inside!
+You should leave a "drip loop" right before the hole where the cable enters the building. This will prevent water from running along the cable and getting inside!
When running cabling:
+
+ * be careful not to deform it with fasteners - zip ties installed too tightly or incorrect staples can damage the cable
+ * be aware of the cable's bend radius- bending a cable too much can cause damage
+ * if running a cable through a wall, use a grommet and reinforcing the cable when running it over an edge, for example by reinforcing it with multiple layers of electrical tape or something similar

The Commotion development team has redesigned the roadmap for a more general, cross-compiled/cross-platform Commotion Client. Active development of Commotion Client is ongoing.
-Commotion Linux is an application bundle currently packaged for Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian based distros. Development of Commotion Linux is ongoing, but it is now near DR2 feature parity with Commotion OpenWRT.
+Commotion Client development will focus first on a fully functional application for Linux, followed by clients for Mac and Windows.
-We expect release of Commotion Linux v1.0 in early 2014, with an easier PPA-based installation process.
+Our prototype client which led to this change in design direction was Commotion Linux. Initial Development of Commotion Linux resulted in .deb packages compatible with Ubuntu and Debian Linux. We provide the Commotion Linux .deb packages for posterity and for interested parties to use. See the Readme file in the **commotion-linux-py.deb package** for installation instructions. Note that Commotion Linux comaptible with our DR2 release, but is not compatible with more recent versions of Commotion such as Commotion Router 1.0 and 1.1. It is also not supported by the Commotion team.
-A more extensive readme can be found in the commotion-linux-py.deb package, which can be downloaded from https://downloads.commotionwireless.net/linux
- -Currently you must install the Commotion Linux client packages with dpkg, and resolve dependencies that may not be installed on your system. We will soon be publishing Commotion Linux in a PPA, so installation of Commotion Linux can be down through your system's package manager.
