Yes we posted to linuxtoday.com freshmeat.net linuxapps.com,
slashdot.org, mailed the LSM to the lsm maintainers, and
mailed to the beowulf and linux-perf mailing lists.

Great idea - that's exactly why we released this stuff - to try and get
some uniformity in the all the performance tools out there (they're all
more or less "broken" in some way, usually in their transport layer).

Please see the PCP home page and faq at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp
for pointers to the documentation, example code, etc.
