Re: Computax '98 and legal issues
IMHO, we could do much more nice things with Linux than posters. For
example, put quake II dedicated server on linux box and show that it
flies, as opposed to NT (not 9[5-8], but NT). Show McAffe Antivirus
running on Linux and cleaning fvat partitions without any troubles. Try to
molestate Linux and NT both by running find (click find on NT) and
then turning "by mistake" power on both. Run self-expanding program
and see who will survive. Introduce to the society parallel linux
(beowulf/linux). Posters may advertise, but we must make the show.
