FreeRADIUS is a complex piece of software with many configuration
options. In most circumstances, the default configuration works with
-minimal effort to install a server.
-For more complex requirements, FreeRADIUS can be difficult to

This documentation is divided into sections by subject area and organized by
task-based results as follows:
* xref:developers:index.adoc[Developers] section outlines coding standards, raising bugs, and contributing with GitHub.
* xref:ts.adoc[Troubleshooting] section to help you resolve the most common issues with FreeRADIUS installations and configurations.
-Within each section, the documentation is organized into subsections, smaller pages, and relavent cross-links.
-This hierarchy ensures that you can find information quickly and extract the instructions you need.

== What's new in FreeRADIUS version 4
-FreeRADIUS version 4 is in "alpha" right now. If version 4 works, continue to use.
-If you have issues, *return* to using FreeRADIUS version 3.
