Lynn and group,
The conference was good as always. I would recommend the LISA conference to anybody that does SysAdmin type work. It is not Linux specific, but it is fairly *NIX centric. The USENIX technical conference, which is held each summer, is great to *NIX technical people. That is where they discuss programming and internals and the like. Anyway I took tutorials on SSH, LDAP, and documentation techniques. The last one wasn't what I expected, but I enjoyed the first two. Then when the tutorials were done the real conference started. Some of the better talks that I saw were on Internet measurement, a roud table discussion on the future of computer security, and a speech by William Lefebvre of CNN.com about what they went through on 9/11 and why anybody running a web site should have a plan for when they get flooded unexpectedly. Basically they were able to move from 10 to almost 50 servers in about an hour or two, and that still wasn't enough to handle their load.
If I am able to make it to the next meeting I'd be glad to share more info and I still have a few goodies that my co-workers didn't grab.
