Not just Yahoo. In the weeks before and after the DTrace conference in SF, I did presentations at Nokia, Ironport (Cisco), Juniper Networks and Isilon. I also gave a talk at the BSDcan conference in Ottawa last month. The next arch port for DTrace on FreeBSD is MIPS. Thanks to MIPS Technologies for (promising to) send the hardware. -- John Birrell _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
