Moin Moin! The beginning of the LinuxTag is near, so we should collect what hardware is available and what is really needed.
The page at http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2002/hardware.html seems to be not fully up to date. As far as I can see, Arne Wichmann offered two TFT displays, J�rg Jaspert replaced one of the two 166MHz i386 by a faster one (300-500 MHz) and I can bring a monitor with me. So what hardware do we need for the booth? I think we should have a good performing machine at the demo point (I'd prefer a GHz i386, but nobody offered one so far, so we could use the 300-500 MHz i386 offered by J�rg Jaspert). Then we may need a machine to run the beamer (or does everyone who uses it bring a laptop with him?). At the back of the booth we can place the different architectures: - powerpc: - Power Macintosh 7200/90 (Jens Schmalzing) - m68k: - Mac Quadra 650 (Michael Schmitz) - Atari Falcon (Michael Schmitz) - Atari TT (Michael Schmitz) - alpha: - SX164 (533MHz) (Thimo Neubauer) - AlphaStation 200 4/166MHz (128MB) (Roland Rosenfeld) - sparc: - SparcStation 4 (Andreas M�ller) What machines from this set do we need (3*m68k seems to be quite much to me)? Does it make sense to show two alphas? What software should we install/run on the machines? I don't think that we want to see the backs of 5 developers reading their mail, so the machines should show some demo or something like this. As far as I know most machines are not the most recent hardware, so high performance graphics demos may not be the best choice. But simply running bb (the aalib demo) also doesn't sound too interesting. So what do we want to run on the machines?
