Re: SILUG Presentation

Steve,

It would be great if you brought both your laptops.

Also, I wondered if you (or anyone) would have any "boxed" versions of
distros other than Red Hat.  I have Red Hat 7.1 and Star Office 5.2 in the
box.  I find when I hand people the boxed version of Open Source software
they say "hey, this is REAL software!"  (hmmm...)

I thought some boxed versions of Open Source software could be something for
a "static" display.

If you want to call me at 618.222.1000 to discuss the "eye candy," I should
be in the office most of the day.

Thanks,

jburke.

Hmm...  Sounds like something I can help with.  :-)  I'll be there.

I have two laptops running KDE 2.1 and some recent version of GNOME
(both Red Hat 7.1).  Either would be good for presentations.  It might
be a good idea to talk in advance and work out some ideas for eye
candy.
