Ah yes, independant Labs. Now, who paid for that certification?

Personally I find myself in a much better position to test these things
for the uses I am going to put them through.

I am not sure if it is good or bad that you ahve code in sendmail :p

How old are you now?

I don't want to get into a willy waving competition, you immediately
start on a winner (actually having one).

You're cv looks impressive. You certainly have done quite alot. Me, I am
just a part time helldesker, and a sysadmin. In the past, I have done
developement and testing with BT, I have coded in FORTRAN - for money!,
I have worked for ESA writting code for satellite telemetry systems. I
have fun a company selling oss solutions for SME's. But, these days, I
just don't do that much. Just run a couple of clusters for hosting of
xen virtual machines. Nothing big (well, enough to hit problems with
only 256 raid devices, but not the 40000 per box of the Z series).

So yeah, you have a better cv, yeah, you can wave your willy. Lucky you.

My software is free tho.
