Wow!

Sun seems to do a good job with Solaris .. I just read about the new Service Management Facility
and it looks real nice. Seems like Sun is still leading the Unix invention race :)

Sysadmin vs AdminDrone --- Computing vs Data Processing?

Cool:
» The IT Commandments: #2 Thou Shalt Honor and Empower thy (Unix) Sysadmins | Paul Murphy | ZDNet.com

I'm sooo happy whenever someone understands the difference between a proper sysadmin and a admin drone. I don't agree with the author that it's solely due to the requirements of scientific computing that proper sysadmins are bred, I think it's also due to the difference between a Unix shop and a Mainframe/Wintel shop.

Cool.

An insightful article on QoS!

Thanks to the wonderful Google Alerts I just found a sweet article on QoS. Unlike most articles I've read about QoS this one contain relevant information (Cisco-oriented) and both config examples and enterprise-related comments that indicates the author actually has some deployment experience. Nice.
