Hi Esther... I was wondering if you found out to what extent we could earmark some donations sent in via the Usenix page for OpenAFS. I am not expecting some absurdly-strict earmarking, where every penny must accounted for and go exactly where I want it to go. But I *would* like some feeling that

If you're running a business you could fund people/projects directly. It is a regular business expense. You may have to issue a 1099 at year end. You could also donate directly to one of the universities but there may be a % cut the institution takes off the top. My impression from the Stanford c

In the bios verify that the memory is running at spec. Look at swapping/paging stats. If your're memory bound and paging the swap partition should be on a separate drive (Although a cpu load of 5 indicates you're cpu bound). tedc ___ OpenAFS-info mailin

To be totally honest, I dropped the ball here. I'm very sorry. On the other hand, I should have seen the answer to this when you first asked it. Usenix is, very graciously, simply collecting the money for OpenAFS because they are a 501c3 and OpenAFS is not, at this time. Usenix will take the m
