LinuxPR: Dell and Hewlett-Packard Join First-Ever Linux Plug Fest In Burlingame, CA October 22-26

"What: With Linux maturing rapidly, hardware vendors need to know how their products will perform in mixed business environments across all major distributions of Linux. The first annual International Linux Plug Fest has attracted major OEMs, independent hardware vendors (IHVs) and system integrators, including 3Ware, Adaptec, Ecrix, and Matrox to test the interoperability of their wares in a certified lab environment.

Why: This event is being held to drive compatibility between the newest hardware and the latest Linux kernel implementations. The goal of the Linux Plug Fest is to eliminate interoperability problems by ensuring proper implementation of Linux products."

"When: Oct. 22-26, 2000. Vendors may opt to stay longer and schedule debug sessions with one another, if needed."
