Well that what I really thought but then the only good part was the Mac OSX talk and their stand. Oh and the playstation 2 linux kit was really decent!

I had a good time, spent about 2 minutes looking at commercial stands the rest of the time meeting up with various people which was good fun.
Also beer after at the lonix meeting was extra fun 8) but i think it may have an effect on my working performance today.

Yep, that was about the scale of it. I could have happily spent a *long* time in the .org area if I wasn't manning a stand. The rest of the show seemed pretty much "more of the same," though. Not very inspiring. :-(

Yeah, agreed... I was very disappointed. How much does one have to pay for a stand in the .org area? Anyone in ALUG know?
Cheers, Laurie.
Again, agreed. Was disappointed, but I talked to many interesting people who offered great advice and help. Spent a while talking to SCO regarding UnitedLinux which I now have BETA 3 on CD if any1 is interested.
take care,
J

I don't think you can buy them. You get them by begging and being a not-for-profit, AFAIK.

Ah well but drooling at the mac stand was fun =)
Agreed, spent a while talking about mac's and was nicely surprised. The last time I saw a mac was about 6 to 8 years ago and really gave them no attention. Finding out they are based on BSD was a great surprise. After being very impressed I asked a price then I was shocked, bit pricey!

fwiw, according to the bsd-family-tree[1], it's based off: - 4.4BSD Rhapsody - NetBSD 1.4 - FreeBSD 3.2 and http://www.apple.com/server/specs.html says that it uses the Mach 3.0 microkernel.
