Thanks to JIANG Xiong for
this report.

In spite of the heavy rain in daytime, a Linux Eve party was
still successfully held at the fountain square of Friendship Hotel,
Beijing. Organized by Beijing Linux Club and sponsored by
Shida-Langxin corp., this party gathered around several hundreds of
Linux fans, Chinese Linux developers and attracted the sight from
news media, and commercial companies.

TurboLinux developer FANG, Han (Daniel Fang), Chinese Xteam
Linux team leader REN, Yi, the master of the first China free
software news server and archive site freesoft.cei.gov.cn, ZHANG, Lu,
and other VIPs presented warm greetings to all the guests. Pacific
High-Tech (PHT) contributed TurboLinux 3.0.2 suites as the award
for the lottery interludes.

The exciting things for me were a Linux router as small as a
book (pity that I did not have a camera. 🙂 and a little boy (6
years old ?) won a TurboLinux 3.0.2 suite. 🙂
