Still crazy after all these years

[Bill Campbell]

I'm still hanging in there although I would like to figure out
how to pass off my Linux clients to somebody so I can retire.
Most are running on CentOS 5 with a few ancient SuSE Enterprise
Linux boxes still going (and a couple of SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a).

Work is a four letter word that gets in the way of playing bridge.

I really like specifying root=LABEL=xxx to using UUIDs for this.
