PS. I have to admit, this is my first cut at a blog, so I hope that I will like doing this and more importantly, that you will like what I have to say. In this blog, I’ll be talking about infrastructure technology, with a focus on Unix, Linux, databases and networking. I look forward to your comments and suggestions as to how to make this a better place to hang out.
