• Practicing system administrators, managers, consultants, educators, and students.
• Researchers in computer science or human factors looking to test their ideas on real-world problems.
• People from business, government, or academia, in over 30 different countries.

• People working at sites with tens of machines or tens of thousands of machines.
• Administrators working with a wide range of operating systems from Linux and the BSD releases to vendor-specific systems such as Solaris, Windows, Mac OS, HP-UX, and AIX.
