	consulting sysadmin for over 10 years. When he's not spending time
	on SAGE-AU activities, he consults to organisations on systems
	management practices, including systems management infrastructure,
	policy definition, security, and staff development.

	This paper will discuss how the Department of Mathematics can and does
	reinstall a PC with-in 5 minutes, a lab of 64 PC's within 30 minutes

	minutes with Windows 3.1, Windows NT and Unix all on the one machine.

	in the Government, Commercial, Research and Academic sectors.

	of Mathematics at The University of Queensland. As well as his normal 
	work, David is the Secretary for The System Administrators Guild of
