If you plan to work as an IT engineer and maintain your sanity, I would consider it far more than merely "appropriate". :) It may well be worth the drive from Richland (and go to Usenix if you can!) Config management is a core part of a set of practices called DevOps that is trying to do for systems-management what CNC did for manufacturing: automate the boring stuff and replace skill with process stability. I don't have enough material for a proper PLUG talk on DevOps, but as you can tell, I belive it's an important subject. And dang it, I'm going up the gorge on the 18th... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
