Michael,

I haven't paid too much attention to this, but will most likely be at 
LinuxWorld. I was wondering if it would be ok if I forward the 
information to the Nexenta folks?

I actually do not know who is behind Nexenta, and it caused quite an 
uproar within the Debian community, not to mention the company I work 
for stood there with their d!@$ in their ear over the licensing issue, 
rather than working it out with Debian...but that's water under the 
bridge that is probably best left there...

Let me know if it would be ok to pass along the info to Nexenta, 
whoever ported apt (or who is the brains behind it) evidentally lives
in SF. If you're on this list, that was impressive to get the Nexenta 
distribution together, my hat is off to you.

Also, if you or anyone else feel uncomfortable about inviting them, 
feel free to speak up on that count as well, you won't hurt my 
feeling, my skin is pretty thick, and I hear Giraffe's have pretty 
thick skin also...<LOL!>

(I just snip'd a LOT of baggage outta that message;-)
