- xerox, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2"From 7.0 version, PC-BSD will follow the same numeration, as FreeBSD. PC-BSD 7.0 will include KDE4.1."
- deadmoo, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1And the substance that is there isn't even accurate. Its 7200 rpm not 720 rpm. Its FreeBSD 7.0 not PC-PSD 7.0. And it also has troll like descriptions like "A lost businessman is lulled to sleep by a barrage of geekery, jargon and woefully optimistic philosophies about open software's transformative potential."
- Commodore13, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Wow. I wish that they would have linked to the blog of "Gloria Galicia, left, and Perla Ibarra," in slide 6.

- mikelanghorst, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1This is my third year attending, and the conference is definitely getting worse. They added in the "NGDC" or Next Generation Data Center, which is more focused on virtualization and grid computing taking up a large portion of the expo floor. Many of the distros are no longer in attendance. RedHat hasn't been here for the last 3 years at least since I've been coming. Novell and IBM were here in force in 2006 & 2007 yet are nowhere to be found this year. Other than those in the .org pavillion the only commercial distro that is here is Canonical.
Also their wireless connectivity in the sessions is horrendous. Really shouldn't be that difficult. - subgeniusd, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Uh huh-huh-huh.....gurlz...............yeahyeah gurlz

Don't feed the trolls. - ethana2, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1I wonder if Dell has added the next few Ubuntu models to their site yet.. I just bought the inspiron 1420n for myself, but I've got a mom and grandparents to get online..

- chrish01, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1LinuxWorld is the worst opensource convention out there. The only saving grace is that the .org pavilion has some good folks.
The companies who show up are rarely free and opensource and mostly just want to take advantage of the community. I guess thats a given though since someone like Larry Augustine started it. He seems to ***** up everything he touches. - courtjester555, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Did you spot the XO in the 9th picture?
- ut2k4king, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Your name just says it all, doesn't it?
- cawpin, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Um, think about that for a second.
- directrix13, on 08/07/2008, -1/+0Wired hates Linux people.
- thenns7, on 08/07/2008, -5/+0but do they have crisys?
