cool

suse always been a nice stable distribution, shame about the package mangement or have they improved it in the last couple of years and moved away from rpms :angel:

sounds like an interesting mix of platforms

hope you get to enjoy working with it.

mate is right into that sort of thing and sits in his wood panelled workroom in the middle of nowhere writing apps for bucket loads of cash, at the end of some huge satellite link to the US.

what part do you play in the grand scheme of things?

sysadmin or programmer or ?

hard to define my role. application operations, application administrator
which includes assurance/inc mgt, change mgt, release mgt, problem mgt, integration.

i dont write code. i suck at it and hate it.

in the grand scheme of things, the platform i look after is an enabler with no front end to the internet.

one of the things it does, when you check how much credit you have on your phone, part of that request comes through our platform.
part of that had its read only request speed up from 10s to 2s by adding a data cashe in the middle.

2tb of ram and 4tb of ssd drives. bloody fast.
