LinuxDay in Vorarlberg sounds quite similar to LinuxFest NW (LFNW) here in Bellingham Washington US. I was on the organizing committee for several years and have been in the openSUSE booth a few times. Using older hardware certainly shows versatility, frugality, social conscience, etc. That is attractive to many people. For expo demos, we've found that those subjective benefits are mostly taken for granted with Linux. People are attracted to performance. Using the latest, fastest hardware handles that and allows for conversations about SLE > LEAP > Tumbleweed, quality, SUSE, community support, other such things that set openSUSE apart. At the last LFNW, we featured a new Intel Core gazillion with SSD and KDE, converted Windows machine off the shelf from the local tech store. Impressive performance. No conversations about the weight of openSUSE or KDE. Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org
