[nylug-talk] Is there any overlap in the NYC Linux community with Solaris?

Jonathon Swartz:

"Despite having what's arguably the single biggest competitive
advantage our systems business has ever had, we've separated out our
microelectronics business - and told them to win on the open market,
as well. We signed our first OEM agreement with Marvell, through which
we'll be collaborating to take our networking advancements to the
marketplace. More broadly, our microelectronics team is free to sell
to our competition.

For the record, we'd be thrilled to supply, for example, a Niagara
blade to HP or IBM for their blade servers - as well as to the larger
market of networking, storage, automotive and industrial applications.

It's a commodity market, after all - vast, growing, and in search of
differentiation."

P.S. - I finally found a good Capistrano tutorial. Strangely enough
it's on the Capistrano homepage.
