Johnny Lam: Xen and the Art of SysAdmin

6 pm, Soho Apple Store at 103 Prince Street

This presentation will be about using Xen in the real world to simplify 
the maintenance of BSD systems. There will be a short introduction to 
Xen and how it works, an in-depth look at the details of one particular 
Xen setup along with some performance results, and how using Xen 
simplifies life as an admin.

improving the portability and the capabilities of pkgsrc. He has headed

to dupe someone else into taking maintainership of the Perl package.
