Re: 2- ... George ... Are you still bringing your Athlon?***
The AMD 2000 XP (LTSP server) can be there whether I can keep you company or
not. I am thinking only one thin client (a 500 MHz K6-2) will suffice due
to limited space.
The AMD 2200 XP dosen't exist yet but hopefully this week end. Good Lord
willing and the creek don't rise.
I also have an 800 (I think) Pentium (removable disk bay) which likes Red
Hat 8.0 very much. I can throw a sacrificial disk drive in it and we can
install RH8 as times as we like. Knowing that the installs will go well has
some value.
This is my Linux desktop (and Samba server) here at the office. CGC was
getting rid of that older slow useless stuff that doesn't do the new MS
operating systems well, and I caught this one. It actually performs well
with Linux. This alone makes a statement.
Question: Would there be any value in having one of those (show and tell) 3
ring binders (that stand up as a display) with color pages showing each step
of the Red Hat 8.0 install (as a standalone - the simple one)?
I can also bring a 4 port ethernet switch.

Okay, This is what we know:
1- The 23rd is the date of the expo from 9AM to4. Set up is the day before
from noon til 6. the booth is 10 X 10
2- I will be there all day on the 23rd. From around 2:30 on the 22nd.
***I am a newbie so I will not be behind the tables durring the expo. I will
keep George company if he comes. Are you still bringing your Athlon?***
I will bring my computer if someone will configure everything to run on it
correctly (I am running M$ right now). The monitor is 19" but is 7 years old
(and looks older). If I get it running with Linux (knoppix) I will bring a
palm pilot. My printer will not come because it does not work.
***What is the status on this? Should I bring it with an installed system or
for the purpose of demonstrating an instalation?****
3- Bill Lindley volunteered to be there (is it for all day Bill?) (Can you
bring a computer?)
***And he ISN'T a newbie.***
***Who else can come as a demonstrator?***
***Dress code for the demonstrators is business casual.***
4- We have the possibility of having an Athlon XP (2000) with two thin
clients
and an Athlon XP (2200) and a warm body. Does this work with the date,
George. Is it possible to network the Athlons if they come? Would someone
happen to have a spare network card for me if I bring my computer?
***I tend to agree with George in that newbies will not impress our booths
visitors. So please only ask if you aren't a newbie.... unless while you are
there you don't mind being a grunt and walking around the expo while it is
happening.***
5- Please tell me if you plan on coming to be a demonstrator. We are going
to have 2 chairs total there.
***Let's not worry about chairs.... they are for visitors.
6- Please add whatever you desire and we will discuss it (as we shall
discuss the above points).
