\_ configure these machines and provide demos to those who may be unaware \_ or just plain scared of GNU/Linux. Depending on the audience, I'd pull the latest versions of StarOffice, Gnucash, Gnumeric, and maybe a few demo games from Loki and get those humming. The wise IT managers (ho ho ho) know that games tend to stress the hardware, but what they want to see is that word document cracked open and the juicy bits being juicy instead of 6x13. Of course, the trick with the games would be to get them prepped before you get to the booth so as to avoid an X hotfix in the middle of a show. :-) David
