As the pesimists expected, the Blackboard upgrade isn't going as well as it could have. At least we're on the new hardware. The software update though... there are service calls in the works.
On the 'new grandboss' front, rumor has it that a candidate has been selected. But the mill has not supplied which candidate it is yet. Also, the existing guy will be working in a part time capacity in 'Space Administration. While lofty sounding, this is the department that deals with office shuffles and the domino-effects therein. God-speed, and good hunting. Bring your asbestos long-johns.
One of our three eDir servers will almost definitely be migrated to OES-Linux before fall quarter. This is an older box, so the Linux kernel should provide a few more percentage points of performance. I'd prefer to upgrade the hardware, but the budget isn't there yet.
We're still working on getting a disaster recovery data-center into the basement of Bond Hall. Yep, still plugging.
Novell created the support-forums for Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop yesterday. Perhaps release is soon? Who knows.
