[ Thanks to moin for this report. ]

On Friday, the largest Linux Installation I have ever seen took place in Austria, Europe. More than 800 people attended the party, about 200 computers - from a 386 to a Sun Sparc - got Linux installed. There was free beer, free pizza and music. The party has been organized by the IT News Channel ORF FutureZone, and it was truly a full success. 60 packets of SuSE Linux have been thrown into the crowd, 10 packets of VMWare et cetera...
