+= Making use of NOX (8/6) = 
+Writing a controller by tying together the functional code defining !OpenFlow Protocol using Ruby turned out to be a pretty messy task. According to the NOX developers, it would be better to do some Python development on the NOX web-API to expose functionality that can be called using Ruby. 
+
+So enter NOX: http://noxrepo.org
+
+Install with git: [[BR]]
+apt-get install git-core   [[BR]] 
+git clone git://noxrepo.org/noxcore   [[BR]]
+
+
+=== Installing NOX on the Console ===
+We tried to use git, but that didn't work due to firewall issues. It did work on the PC, so the package was tarred and scp-d to SB9. 
+
+For it to build properly, the following had to be installed.
+ * libtool
+ * libboost1.35-dev
+ * apache2
+ * libxerces-c28
+ * libxerces-c2-dev
+ * libssl-dev
+ * libsqlite3-dev
+ * python-simplejson
+
+As of now, failing a test:
