To Sherwood and all of the other Sys admins out there - I suggest
that the one machine that you put 3.0 on when it does come out is
your most heavily used netinfo server - the netinfo is supposed to
be much more efficient, especially on the server side.  Supposed to
get rid of the 20 minute waits for netinfo to bind to a server on
the same machine.

Count me as one more in the 'waaaay too late for THIS summer'
club... I have to have 3 labs open by next week... I'm going to 2.2a
across the board, then 3.0 hopefully during winter break. :-)
