“The morning brought the most impressive numbers.
Within the first three hours, an estimated 40-60 people wandered
between two rooms that had been set up with computer stations and
laptops…bearing the Linux Payloads.

“To say it was fun is an understatement, to say it was a success
is relative to one’s expectations. While the first three hours gave
us cramped conditions and over-worked volunteers, the rest of the
day saw an ebb and flow of folks coming in to see and use Linux. A
success? Yeah, I think so. It could have been better but we’ll talk
about that later. What we had is what we had… What I do want to
talk to you about are the people that made this thing work.”
