We are in the final streach for replacing the entire datacenter floor where I work because of zinc Whiskers. We had the underfloor area cleaned for the new A/C that blows from the floor up. We promptly lost 11 power supplies and the total count is up over 20 now. We did verify the presents of zinc whiskers in the dead powersupplies thanks to the onsite electron microscope. Thankfully the high temperature never got above 85 degrees so the old A/C was able to keep up.
While it was nice to be able run Oracle on my home machine, the desktop for RH9 was just too clunky. I decided to switch to Mandrake after mucking around with a friend newly setup box. MP3s just worked, video clips just worked, the only package that I had to do rootish things for was MultiSync so I could sync between Evolution and my Zaurus.

If you want, I'll send you a copy on Wednesday when I get back to work.
