“I had a free pass for the exhibit floor and went in on Day 2.
After registering I headed straight for the Linux Pavilion – a
section of the exhibit floor where Linux-related businesses had set
up their booths.”
“My first stop was the Red Hat booth. They had several
workstations with nice big monitors and knowledgeable employees
giving demos. I asked a few questions about the upcoming Red Hat
6.0 release and watched a demo of GNOME. I was told that the next
release of Red Hat will use the GNOME GUI environment as the
default though other graphical environments like KDE will be
included also.”
…
“I noticed a long line of people and I hurried over to the end
of the line. People were queuing up to get a free CD of Caldera’s
OpenLinux2.2.”

“While I didn’t attend any of the big Linux events at COMDEX,
just hanging out around the Linux Pavilion was fun.”
