VITTA Conference

Hmm. VITTA conference. 3 days away from school (good). 3 days work accumulated and waiting for my return (not good). Still, learning some new things, reinforcing some old things and doing some networking.

We get a bank of ten or fifteen of these pairs running at a time, and we march through things pretty swiftly.

There is also a feature of OS X Server called Net Boot that allows you to put an image on a server, and then get the target Macs to pull that image over ethernet - we haven't used it because it bogs down our network for other things. But it's an option too.
