So - it's March already!
Time for more snippits and cool stuff in the land of Solaris.
When we broke last year, we all decided it might be nice to have an
evening where we all talk about generally cool stuff - micro
presentations on things that make our everyday lives easier. Turns out,
it was great fun - and though we didn't do that much 'utility' stuff in
the end, the idea was a winner. We covered 10Gbe tuning, (on AIX - just
to see what it's like!), Packer + Vagrant, some ZFS stuff, screen and
SSH stuff. Thanks to everyone!
So - let's keep it going! March is mini-tip month again! Reply to me if
you want to get on the program. (Or if yeu have something good, and
don't want to be on the program, but could be talked into it! ;)
If you have something - even 5 minutes worth - to talk about, let me
know and I'll put you on the program.
It could be why you use sort | uniq as opposed to sort -u, it might be
how to draw a directory tree with sed, it might be your fav uses of
shell string handling. We don't care! Everything you think is awesome
that you do is something we'd all love to see.
(Gavin - I'm *still* looking at you and the vm2 subsystem one of these
days!! heh heh.) :).
Oh - For reference - On the list of what folks wanted to see - we
collectively decided we'd like to talk about the following in the coming
months:
DTrace stuff (including a re-intro/primer as we have a bunch of new
folks in the group), Solaris 11 (going deep into the new stuff), (eg:
ipadm, dladm, tuned versus vanilla, etc), Pillar storage, OEL/OL (Oracle
Linux)... Anyone who wants to volunteer would be most welcome. :)
See below for topics/speakers.
