Shameless Self Promotion… Again!

Do me a favor and pickup the April 2009 issue of Linux Journal, please. This issue is the “System Administration” issue, so if you’re a sysadmin it’ll probably help ya out a bunch. In addition to that, I have a couple of things in it this month! I wrote an article on Unattended Windows installation using PXE and Linux (some of us DO work in mixed environments). The thing I’m most proud of is my collaboration with Kyle Rankin on the Point/Counterpoint column. I hope y’all have as much fun reading it as we did writing it. I’m the “right” one, by the way. ;) Drop me comments if you want - or better yet, comment on the magazine’s website, or send letters to the editor. We crave feedback!
