Hopefully I’ve done what I came to do, which is to inform you about Console
Server vendors and hardware, to give you some criteria to use for evaluating
their features, and give you some practical working knowledge that may help
you set up Console Servers at your site. And I hope that I was able to answer
some of the questions and concerns that the students had coming into the class.
We will have a BoF session tomorrow night, from 7p-9p, on the 5th floor, in
Salon K. Bryan Stansell should be there, as should Dave Stuit. There are a few
other interesting BoF sessions, but come to ours if you can!
I haven’t convinced Lee Damon that Remote Access to Serial Consoles
warrants a “Guru is In” session. If you have a feeling one way or the other,
please let me know, or contact Lee, or the conference organizers, and let them
know what you think. I’d like to do a session that is partly a workshop, fielding
questions from the audience, and trying to solve their console problems. Sort of
a cross between the BoF, and a Work In Progress report.
While the LISA staff are interested in getting an evaluation form from all of
you, I’m also interested in your responses, since I’ll get some feedback from
the LISA folks about how well you think I did.
On behalf of the Conserver development team, thanks for attending, and I thank
you for turning in your tutorial evaluations.
