Sorry, but i'm a UNIX man. Thanks for the offer though. Open source, for life.

[Burzhui]

I agree with jmalm,
UNIX or LINUX baby

I'm in San Diego... it says that you get $100 off . no mention of a free pre-release version

[ziggie216]

brainsmile,

"Event attendees will receive a pre-release version of Windows XP Professional and free, fully functional copies of Visio 2002 and SharePoint Portal Server."

You ARE the weakest link. GOODBYE!

There are two different shows:

Pro & Consumer

Pro takes about 4+ hours and offers more free stuff

Consumer takes 2 hours and you get to see the XBox.

Many of these are filling up fast

I am with the kernel hackers. Put me down with the Linux people as I am a Mandrake man:

P.S. Mandrake 8.0 kicks @ss

All your linux belong to us

Lets not get into the linux debate. For Small scale users Linux is good, but there is a reason that the unix based programs never made and never will be big, the kernals sucks. Crashes like windows 95. To back up my info, search techrepublic.com/(been around a long time.) Unix had its day back in the 80's. Welcome to the Monopolized Millennium.

I agree with kcrilly, although I have no problem with the Linux idea, however, in my opinion, it's not ready for the business world yet. And if you happen to be on a University campus, Unix can be a pain in the @$$ [FYI, I'm a CS major]. Maybe somewhere in the distant future Linux will live up to it's hype.
