A February Falcon
We now resume our normal Thursday cadence with: This month we are going all virtual machines in various ways for our cyber-half-hour, wrapped around and in our light hearted discussions of penguins and linux-in-space and splashdowns and whatever else in the universe... Our "Hancock's Half Hour" styled talk is leaping from the bottom layers of networking and into virtual machines and virtual switches and virtual networking to compare our experience of various VMs ;-) ... (Not to be confused…

Anything is possible when virtual... ;-) ) All welcome…
