HI gang,

I have volunteers who will bring in computers showing off SuSE Linux

7.x

and Mandrake 8.1. Is there anybody else out there who would like to bring in a machine running something different? I'm thinking of a Slackware, Debian, Turbo Linux, etc. If you are interested, let me know. (The only reason I didn't mention Redhat is that most people run it, and most of us probably know what it looks like already).

Later,

I will bring my Athlon: Currently: Debian Unstable OpenBSD Win2K Win2k will be go away next Mon. in favor of FreeBSD or NetBSD. It was only there for Medal of Honor anyway ;) . Debian Unstable will be replaced with Stable to provide for the opportunity to demo apt-get upgrade/install. I assume we will have fast net for such fun in the big room? -Adam p.s. Shall I bring the whole kit or will there be onsite pieces (power cords, net cords, monitors, switch/hub, etc.)?
