---
This month's FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) meeting is on
Thursday, February 22, 2007.  Our presentation is "ZFS as a Root File
System" by Lori Alt. In addition, Jon Bowman will be giving an OpenSolaris
Update which will include discussing Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE),
and we will also be doing an InstallFest. So, if you want help installing
SXDE, backup your laptop and bring it to the meeting! We will be providing
free SXDE DVDs.

About the presentation:
One of the next steps in the evolution of ZFS is to enable
its use as a root file system.  This presentation will focus
on how booting from ZFS will work, how installation
will be affected by ZFS's feature set, and the many advantages
that will result from being able to use ZFS as a root file system.

The presentation will be posted here prior to the meeting:

About our presenter:
Lori Alt is a Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems, where
she has worked since 1991.  Lori worked on Solaris install
and upgrade and then on UFS, where she led the multi-terabyte
UFS project.  She has Bachelor's and Master's degrees in
computer science from Washington University in St. Louis, MO.
