   7pm-9pm


MAIN PRESENTATION

  TOPIC: How to Get Screamingly Fast Performance with Linux           
    

  PRESENTED BY:
    Rick Moen,
    recovering sysadmin

  TOPIC SUMMARY:
    We all know that Linux is considered a high-performance OS, but how
    do you really make it sing?  Rick will go over first the conventional, 
    safe, sane ways to get top performance, and then take a stroll on
    the wild side with the unconventional, not-at-all-safe, somewhat
    sanity-challenged methods of getting that last bit of latent speed.


  ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
    Rick Moen (http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/) is  longtime senior system
    administrator and member of SVLUG's Web Team, who also runs nearby
    Linux user group CABAL (http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/), meeting at
    his and his wife's house in West Menlo Park, and has been fooling
    with various Unixes since the 1980s.  Having formerly been a technical
    employee at several Linux firms (Linuxcare, VA Linux Systems, and
    California Digital Corp.) during decades past, he stresses that it's 
    not his fault and he has an alibi.
