[PLUG] Speaker needed for March 5, 2009 PLUG meeting

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

OK ... I'll get it set up. I've got a little written up on getting

BTW, blktrace is installed by default in openSUSE 11.1; the boot
process includes something called "preload" that uses "blktrace" to
attempt to shorten boot time. I haven't dug into that use case yet.

I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.
