I got my first Linux distro from Jon "maddog" Hall and DEC when Linus Torvalds came to speak to UNH. :-D Red Hat Linux 2.1. At the time, I was new to this you-nicks thing. I wish I had been smart enough to get it autographed... > Sadly, I saw *zero* Linux showing at the last show I attended > (which, I guess, brings me back to the previous topic...) That's market dynamics for you. Everyone knows what MS-Windows is. Not everyone knows what Linux is. Thus, it seems like a better idea to show MS-Windows. Of course, if you have more than one PC, showing both might attract special interest from the Linux crowd. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
