online magazine owned and operated by the Chicago Tribune) has a good
article on
RedHat’s GeekWorld 99. For those who might of been waiting in TPM
ticket lines for way to long, GeekWorld is where 6 fortunate geeks
got scurried away from LinuxExpo to a wired beach house equiped
with a T1! Sand and surf…

“Editors note: When Silicon Prairie got wind of Geekworld ’99, a
Red Hat Software contest in which a random group of Penguinheads
were chosen for an all-expenses paid retreat to a T1-wired beach
house in North Carolina, we knew we had to be there. After all, we
knew many of you would want to be there. We sent Silicon Prairie
contributing reporter Jason Compton (a sometimes geek, himself) to
live it up with the Coke-swilling party of six Linux
disciples.”

“Red Hat Software of Raleigh, N.C., fully appreciated the effect
the release of Red Hat Linux 6.0 would have on loyal customers. The
company knew thousands of Linux fanatics would not emerge from
their Coca-Cola-can-laden dens for days, instead preferring to hang
indoors and master the new version of the Unix-alike operating
system.”
