MrBill is famous for more than just solaris.


Dunno if I want to be called "famous". Tried my best to do what i could for the Sun / hardware rescue communities, but I'm still a relative nobody in the grand scheme of things.

What's really weird is being called a "peer" by people who I looked up to when learning and just getting started. Massive case of impostor syndrome...

There are a ton of people out there, who are better talented and have contributed more to UNIX / Linux, open source, and the hobbyist/maker community in general that deserve recognition and fame.

I'm just a fat old fart sysadmin who's had a good run and was lucky to be able to enjoy most of it. The best I can hope for is to be thought well of by others.
