if you want to wow people and grab their attention I think it would be a good idea to bring a laptop running windows to the booth. Then put a copy of knoppix in the cdrom and reboot it. This has been an attention grabber for me a couple times and has even impressed some people I know that use linux. I know I was impressed the first time I saw it actually run even though I had read about it beforehand. ... anyways it's just an idea for a way to get some good feedback and interaction with your audience. This email is not intended to start an argument about the downfalls of knoppix because we all realize that a canned "distro" with very little customization capabilities is not what most linux users are looking for in terms of an OS. However when used for demo or play, I think knoppix is very cool.
On a seperate topic: runnning slackware v9... all of a sudden everytime I try to show processes using the "ps" command I get a seg fault. No other information is displayed to help me troubleshoot and I am put back to the prompt immediately... Everything else on the box seems healthy at this point... Any ideas on how to begin debugging this issue are greatly appreciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
