"UNIX Storage Management" by Charlie Cler, IBM
The growth of disk storage attached to servers has been growing at an explosive rate. Hardware selection, data protection, backup, and disaster recovery planning have become hot buttons for many systems administrators. Charlie will present issues which should be considered along with current and future storage management solutions to these challenges.
Charlie Cler is an RS/6000 Technical Specialist working for IBM in St. Louis, MO. He has a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, were he focused on computer aided design and manufacturing. After working as a manufacturing engineer for IBM in Boca Raton, Florida he relocated to St. Louis where he has been working with UNIX systems since 1989. Charlie currently helps customers design and implement commercial UNIX server solutions.
"String manipulation in vi" (Or ...are you an old dog?) by Joe Bohnenstiehl
From simple word replacement to advanced text manipulation, if you're using vi, this tutorial should be of interest. Yes freinds, we revisit that endless topic of which no one ever tires because everyone can always learn ... new tricks!
Joe is a Sr. Network Consultant for Williams Communication Group's Critical Technologies Consultants. He has worked with UNIX since 1984. He has been at MasterCard & Anheuser Busch in St. Louis. In 1995, he was one of the first two people brought in to build Concentric Network Corporation's (CNC) North American Network Control Center.
