I resemble that remark!

I've gotten at least that to work a few times. But for me, keeping up with OS upgrades is one of the most important sysadmin tasks. Otherwise, you're leaving unpatched vulnerabilities sitting around. >> I was going to say the commercial version wasn't an option -- but on >> consideration, I haven't done the research to determine that.

Looks like $1,000 per socket per year for 1-4 sockets. You beat me to it. And if that's the order of magnitude, then I was right the first time, the commercial versions are completely out of the question. I might, if I felt really friendly towards Oracle, consider a one-shot payment of 1/10 or maybe a little more :-). -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
