1. 8.2.7 should fix some problems in dm/xlogin. Should be in
the Athena cell next week.
2. Power saving. The new power saving on Suns with 2.6 is reported
to be confusing users. Given the "moving background" xlogin, we
do not allow cluster machines to use the power saving. Private
workstations with someone logged in will use the power saving.
We may need to think about enabling, disabling, or changing this.
3. SGI update is very slow on 4600.
4. Heather has been sick, delaying the release notes.
5. The posters for early also have been delayed.
6. There is an insider article coming out.
7. Dan and Miki have prepared KNFS. Due to automatic release, the
locker has already gone out.
