[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Demo Day 99

[newsseeker]

Chris,

A little off-topic:

How about setting up a booth at the NTPCUG's next meeting - 9/25/99?
Maybe let them know that there are other things that run on PCs instead of
that 'other' OS.  Actually I had more in mind to show up at every one of
their meetings with some form of a Linux exhibit.  It might be
interesting.

As for Linux Demo Day, My vote is for in front of a Best Buy, Fry's, or a
CompUSA.  I know you can argue that Linux might be known there, but I've
never seen any machines on display actually running it there at these
places....where a lot of computer buying people shop.

If Linux Demo Day for NTLUG is on a Saturday or Sunday, I might be able to
help (I just need advance notice).
