[Gllug] Multiple Installs

[Jim Bailey]

Hi,

there was an article on this several months back in Linux journal using 
zip or jazz drives it was being carried out by a US university as part of 
a degree in System Administration???  I can not remember very much more 
than that and linuxjournal.com doesn't seem to carry the article.  Does 
anyone else remember something similar?  Sorry I was not much more help.

Peace Jim
