Yet another lecture I am very sad to have missed :(  I will have to
listen to the audio later today when I have a sec.  Just curious (as I
am admining alot of tomcat servers ATM sadly on Linux though) was this
lecture heavily FreeBSD specific or did you cover concepts that I can
apply here my penguin environment.  I obviously know the kernel
tunables etc. will not port easily....
