Solaris 10 roll out

We are beginning to roll out Solaris 10 on more and more Sun Ray servers. Right now people are being asked to utswitch to these servers and test. We want to find any problems and do any tuning we need to do as soon as possible. The more people we have running on Solaris 10 the better. We also are sending out surveys to all the sites that have been asked to use the Solaris 10 servers. So far the feedback has been almost completely positive. We did get one response today about problems with an application which we haven't heard before. We are looking into it. Our goal is to have the pilot configuration installed on up to 70% of Sun's infrastructure by June 30. So far so good.

The space shuttle is 24

The first space shuttle was launched 24 years ago today. I remember that one of the big concerns was that the solid rocket boosters had never been tested in flight. Watching the space shuttle launch for the very first time was thrilling.

But, you might ask, why do I remember this so well? It is because my oldest daughter was born 24 years ago today. It was a VERY memorable day and one of the happiest of my life.
Happy Birthday Allison!!
