For over 20 years, the Large Installation System Administration
Conference (LISA) has been the must-attend system administration
conference. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to meet and mingle

Back for 2009, we're offering two series of classes focusing on some of
the most important topics you'll encounter. Classes include:
