“What: With Linux maturing rapidly, hardware vendors need to
know how their products will perform in mixed business environments
across all major distributions of Linux. The first annual
International Linux Plug Fest has attracted major OEMs, independent
hardware vendors (IHVs) and system integrators, including 3Ware,
Adaptec, Ecrix, and Matrox to test the interoperability of their
wares in a certified lab environment.
Why: This event is being held to drive compatibility between
the newest hardware and the latest Linux kernel
implementations. The goal of the Linux Plug Fest is to
eliminate interoperability problems by ensuring proper
implementation of Linux products.”
“When: Oct. 22-26, 2000. Vendors may opt to stay longer and
schedule debug sessions with one another, if needed.”
