That is partially true, but I am finding there is interest in what we have to offer to the Linux community. As a case in point, I'm scheduled to speak at 2 of the largest LUGs in the Bay Area, SVLUG, and EBLUG. I'm also speaking at BayLISA this month: May 15th - BayLISA Location: Yahoo in Sunnyvale Web Page: http://www.baylisa.org/ June 4th - Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG) Location: Symatec/Veritas in Mountain View Web Page: http://www.svlug.org/ June 18th - East Bay Linux Users Group (EBLUG) Location: Hurricane Electric in Fremont Web Page: http://www.eblug.org/ FWIW, SVLUG is the largest, most hostile, and most successful LUG in existence, AFAIK. Please help if you can and offer to present at your local LUGs! -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group
