I'm in the Novell SuperLab for the night - don't ask. I've got the run of the place - there are thousands of machines in here - and I've got 500 workstations to play with. It's a geek playground.

I'm running some tests, collecting data and writing notes for a set of white papers about ZENworks Configuration Management.

So I guess hack week really took place in there, with lots of Counter Strike "hacking", right? ;)

Showing my age - do you have a 500 user copy of NCSNIPES to run on that :)

Showing the age of some of the staff I work with - Can they do WoW on that!

Showing just how much of a geek someone else is - "god have they not heard of
VMWARE/XEN".

I want to see a photo of the backside of those racks, to see if the cable management is as nice-looking as the front-facing side.

I bet those systems like the static charge from that rug in the winter time ;)
