> Tamra and I car-pooled, my being on her way to the show. We arrived
>in San Jose early; but spent what seems to have been well over half an
>hour looking for a place to park. All the usual show related places were
>full! I ran into the entry hall at about five minutes past twelve,
>muttering "web consultants?" to any group of people standing around. Too
>late!
>
> For those not going, the show was fairly small as conventions go,
>less than half the usual exhibit hall. But for Linux, that is huge! IBM,
>HP, Sybase, and a number of other major players had large booths, as did
>several book vendors. Red Hat, Caldera, and Turbo Linux had fairly large
>looking booths, though not as large as IBM; but Debian, Slackware, and a
>number of lesser known distributions were also represented, some handing
>out free Linux CD's.
>
> Some of the lesser vendors had clear presentations; but there were
>quite a few who did not seem to have a clear concept of how to present
>what the were all about to the casual attendee. It is always hard to tell
>if these are true geniuses with fantastic products, or just people with
>fantasies.
>
> The show floor was packed! There is hope that next year's show will
>be larger.
>
> I have been impressed by Turbo Linux's superior ability to detect
>notebook hardware and better installation interface in their 2.0 release
>vs Red Hat's 5.2. (Like most, they use Red Hat's RPM, but build upon it.)
>I bought Turbo Linux 3.0.1 for $15.
>
> We covered the exhibits in what seemed to be less time than we had
>spent finding a parking space... (though it was probably at least twice
>the time,) and left by about two or two fifteen.
