Me too (was: Re: Jon Hall's lecture)
I do not plan to go to the lecture, as it will probably be inaccessible to
me ("fall on deaf ears" is no pun in my case...), but I'll be happy if
anyone will take down lecture notes and post them on a Web site.
My opinion in the lecture subject debate is a "me too". I agree with
Moran Cohen's suggestion.
The knowledge about integrating Linux into a Windows World can (AFAIK)
be summarized in the single word SAMBA (anyone cares to suggest a meaning
to the prefix HA, so that we can proclaim the HASAMBA of Linux? :-) ).
We don't need Maddog to lecture at us about SAMBA's virtues. We have
local talent for this purpose.
We do need Maddog to lecture at us about those subjects at which we have
no local expertise i.e. how to get Mainstream to quickly, passionately
and everlastingly fall in crazy, hungry, sensual, thriving and grand love
with Linux.
