Yeah, that's what I'll probably do.  The exhibit has always been the 
draw for me.  I've never really found the 'training' at Comdex or Netop 
'technical' enough for me.  Just now looking at the Comdex Hardcore 
conference (yeah, that's what they call it), it's very Windows/.Net centric.

I'd recommend everyone that goes, be sure to where Linux clothing. 
Although I'm sure there will be the usual Linux dists. showing up, I'm 
thinking of burning a couple sets of disks and taking them with me for 
give aways as well.

It's a good opportunity to evangelize.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
