I meet two RHCEs during the Outsourcing Conference at PhilTrade
a few days ago: Mr. Gaddi and Mr. Engles, both from BluePoint.
I was impressed with their presentations.  They are true marketing
people, and are the best proponents for Linux.  Medyo naging
nakakahiya tuloy ang aking text-only OpenOffice presentation,
compared to their professional presentations.  Yung mga inaantok
sa presentation ko ay nagising sa presentation nila Mr. Gaddi
and Mr. Engels.

I only have one complaint about their presentation:  No one
mentioned that Linux is a multi-user system -- many users can be
logged on at a given time, and each one thinks he has the system
to himself.  In fact this was the overriding consideration when
we first used Linux way back in 1992-3, when the kernel was
still 0.99pl13, and our system was an 8MB 386 with 16 terminals.
It was a hell to use and kept running out of file handles.  But
the C compiler was perfect for our programming class, and we could
do compiles one student at a time (which was a lot better than
what was available at that time on SCO unix on 8MB).  Of course
when 1.0 came out, the system became heaven to use in a multi-user
environment.
