Drew, interesting ideas Yes, I've noticed when I use Ubuntu it is a lot faster than Win 7 (I have previously used the Win 7 RC). Windows requires about 1 GB RAM and 16GB HDD and Ubuntu requires only 384 MB RAM and 8GB HDD.
I think letting people use a Linux PC with OO.o (doesn't matter too much what Linux distribution, but you should use the latest OOo) will let them see how fast & easy it is to use. But you've also got to remember OOo is using the conference to promote OpenOffice.org and not so much Linux. Also, remember if we let lots of people print off their resume/CV the cost could end up rising, but yes I like the idea of something like that.
