 F.A.Q.
 ######
 
+After "``conda create ...``" why does "``source activate astroconda``" fail?
+============================================================================
+
+Anaconda does not support CSH (C-Shell). Please switch to a POSIX-compatible shell (e.g. BASH, KSH, ZSH).
+
+.. note::
+
+    STScI will not maintain a separate codebase of Anaconda's backend ``conda`` in order to implement CSH support. Feel free to
+    create an issue with the `developers <http://github.com/conda/conda/issues>`_.
 
 How does AstroConda differ from Ureka?
 ======================================
 
-TODO
+Ureka and AstroConda both provide applications and libraries in binary form, however Ureka was a *one size fits all* distribution
+which included every package in one giant tarball. If an end-user only really wanted a small set of packages they were forced
+to install everything *and then some*. AstroConda is a *if the shoe fits wear it* distribution of packages. If an end-user
+needs ``HSTCAL``, for example, they can install ``HSTCAL`` and omit much of the rest of HST's software suite.
 
 How often are updates released?
 ===============================
 
-TODO
+Updates to (STScI) software will be released as bugs are identified and squashed. The ``stsci-*`` metapackages, for example, provide
+"releases" (i.e. a set of software used by our internal pipelines). After installing a release it is then possible to upgrade to the latest
+out-of-band packages by simply running:
+
+```conda update -n astroconda --all```
+
+Non-STScI software will be upgraded on an as-needed basis. See the `Contibuting Guide <contributing.html>`_ to learn more about asking
+for updates to existing packages.
+
+What happened to SSBX?
+======================
+
+SSBX was a weekly release of STScI's software suite regardless of the stability of the codebase. This release was often times
+broken and caused issues for external users. SSBX has been rolled into AstroConda as out-of-band package updates. This offers
+a much better user experience, because as bugs are fixed, people will be able to upgrade without waiting until the following week.
+
+What happened to SSBDEV?
+========================
+
+SSBDEV was a nightly snapshot release of STScI's software suite. This release was often times broken and caused issues for
+external users. Nightly snapshots are ***no longer available*** for use by the public. Updates to AstroConda will be made
+directly as existing software is improved and/or new software is released.
 
 Why isn't IRAF installed by default?
 ====================================
 
-TODO
+IRAF is an extremely large software package. Not every developer or scientist requires it.
+
+If you wish to use IRAF, simply install it:
+
+``conda install -n iraf27 python=2.7 iraf && source activate iraf27``
+
+Why is IRAF/PyRAF less functional under Python 3?
+=================================================
+
+The Python code in ``stsdas``, for example, is targeted specifically for Python 2.7 and earlier. If the demand for Python 3
+support under IRAF is great enough we may be able pull our resources to accommodate the community. It is recommended to install
+IRAF into its own environment under Python 2.7:
+
+``conda create -n iraf27 python=2.7 iraf && source activate iraf27``
+
 
-Why can't I install IRAF in a Python 3 environment?
-===================================================
+Will AstroConda interfere with other scientific distributions (e.g. SciSoft)?
+=============================================================================
 
-TODO
+**Probably**, however unlike Ureka we will not impose any restrictions on your environment or issue compatibility warnings at run-time.
+It is your responsibility to maintain a functional shell environment so it does not conflict with your Anaconda installation.
