That's a serious case of over-clocking. Either that or perhaps your surname is Myamoto and the lads at work have put it together as a very special birthday present 8-)..
Better get rid of all these distracting phones and reference manuals too. Brick up the windows, total sensory deprivation will provide a huge increase in productivity and employee moral.

Do you expect everyone in the Linux community to buy a failover cluster and keep it in the garden shed to help them out?
www.novell.com. Search for Linux NDS. Novells eDirectory (gotta have that little e:)) is available for Linux and Solaris as well as various legacy Microsoft operating systems.
My advice to anyone sick of bi-weekly kernel updates is don't update your kernel bi-weekly. The kernel police hardly ever come round to check you're using the latest verion.

"I did a Linux -> FreeBSD conversion, saved the company a couple hundred grand."
