Our job should be to teach them to know better than that.

Look, I know that you do a tremendous amount of work -- I'm not actually a UNIX admin any more, but a system engineer, so I know how much work must go into a project like that. But I'm going to ask you an honest question, so I'd like you to think about it long and hard before you answer me. Can you ever see Nexenta being run in a bank for the most mission critical stuff?
