Minor edits reminder[edit]

Regarding your recent edits to classical fencing: Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!

Yup, got it. I used it for minor wordsmithing, too. no worries...

American Fencing League[edit]

Not to imply that I asked you to write it (because I didn't, but I hoped someone would eventually), but thanks for the AFL stub! Twisted86 23:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed to be an appropriate addition. I don't know much about them, and think they're a very small group, but it couldn't hurt for completeness sake. jsavit 20:11, 29 September 2006 (EDT)

OpenSolaris for System z[edit]

You say that you have information straight from Sine Nomine that z/VM 5.3 is required for OpenSolaris for System z to run. Do you have a source or documentation to that effect? I stated z/VM 5.2 as per the presentation that I referenced on that same line. It would be helpful to have a source to the requirement for z/VM 5.3. -- TreyGeek (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. I know the developer for over 15 years, and he's using the SPARC workstation I provided for him for the cross compile and port. More important, I have a copy of the software and have tried to install it on z/VM 5.3 on z9. The install doc clearly says z/VM 5.3, and in fact needs an additional DIAGNOSE that's not yet in the standard product. Since the development (alas) is still being held close to SNA's chest, I don't think I can disclose it. Jeff Jsavit (talk) 02:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I should have added a while ago: I've successfully installed it under z/VM 5.3 plus the new diagnose on a z9. I haven't had too much time to play with it, mostly functional looking around (at this time it's missing things like Solaris Containers and DTrace, as well as non-core OS software like Perl and Apache) but it does boot up and I can ssh into it. I've run a few C-based programs (gcc is there) for logical and performance tests, but all pretty preliminary stuff. Jeff Jsavit (talk) 12:51, 02 Aug 2008 (UTC)

Quick question your recent edit to OpenSolaris for System z:

(it lacks a number of features such as DTrace or Solaris Containers)

Should that be "or" or "and"? I'm not familiar enough with it to know if "or" is correct, though is sounds like it might be a typo. --TreyGeek (talk) 04:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
