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.
