"I turned to my co-workers, Abby and Sheila, and I
said, "Uhmmm, this has got to be the smallest Linux show I've ever
been to."
And it was. I walked into the West wing of the Marriot Center
and I found a security guy sitting on a chair. Note: The letter,
"a". That's one letter--meaning, "one" person. You're kidding
right? Nope.
The floor (if you want to call it that) was lined up with two
things--computers, and exhibits. That's it. And the saddest part of
this whole show (or the lack of) was that there were more computer
terminals, on the floor, than exhibits. Who were the big players
you ask? Heh, well, Compaq and HP were there. That's it. Red Hat
was there, but all that they had was a table, with a Red Hat table
cloth draped over it. I went to chit-chat with the guy manning the
table because he looked pretty darn bored. Come to find out, he was
there to evangelise Stronghold, Red Hat's secure alternative to
Apache."
