There's also the folks who run the magic push-button cloud; some are your greybeards, some are your young upstarts, all of them are operating on a level higher than both --- the sysadmins of 2015, not the sysadmins of 2005 or of 1995. That said, Rhys *has* said something crucially important: if the perception of the sysadmins of 2005 is that we are the sysadmins of 1995, then we need to do a better job of showing them what the sysadmins of 2015 are, and are doing. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
