Lugs,
Went to the Expo yesterday,
Got lot's of T-shirts and stuff...
Couldn't stay for the Keynotes.
<Highlights> (for me):
1. LinuxCare booth has a bootable recovery disk. ( you have to ask for it)
It's a credit card sized CD. You can use it to get a read only view of
the file's. If you were on a network you could copy the important
stuff somewhere else.
2. Solaris 7 personal version for Sparc and Intel hardware from Sun.
3. The VMWare demo at the LinuxCare booth.
4. The HardDrive sized computer at the Happy Hacking Keyboard
booth. It is 4x6x1 inches big!!! 166Mhz chip running redhat 6.0!
The whole thing is 1995.00 don't ask the guy how much or he'll
keep you there for 10 minutes telling you all the stuff before he
will cough out the price. (when he said nineteen nintey five, I said
Cool! 20 bucks right?)
When HHK come down to around $30 I'll buy one.
5. The HUGE plasma screen at the Penguin Computing booth.
6. The free pen from the CobaltNet Booth (Cobalt Qube and RaQ2).
The pen is translucent blue with their trademark green hightlight.
7. The credit card that gives some of the proceeds to a foundation,
"The Linux Fund" that distributes the money as scholarships for Linux
programmers. (I signed-up, if they acept my application...)
8. The poster of Tux stepping on the MS campus in Redmond.
</Highlights>
Sorry, if I missed anything.
