+FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the
+IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification.
+
+The IPMI specification defines a set of interfaces for platform
+management.  It is utilized by a wide variety of vendors for system
+management on motherboards.  The features of IPMI that most users will
+be interested in are sensor monitoring, remote power control,
+serial-over-LAN (SOL), and system debugging. The FreeIPMI tools and
+libraries in this package should provide users with the ability to
+access and utilize these features.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
