Ah – this takes me back ten years to 1997/1998 when I was training Intel LANDesk 2.52 and 6.x to customers.

I’m in Singapore and training about 20 partners and internal people. 4 of the training room machines have hardware failure. It seems that about 20% failure rate is normal; the other two Novell tracks are also seeing hardware problems at that rate.

As always – it’s the wear and tear of the training room regime – lots of uptime and rebuilds; as well as the additional shock of running in a high temperature, high humidity environment.

I remember training in Wymeswold with Netman and having 50% failures after a cold weekend – totally different problems.
