I tried also to increase linux awareness by giving away cd's, but my story is more funny. A couple of months ago some dumbass rep from microsoft came to talk to the computer club at my university about .NET. A bunch of people showed up because they were giving everyone a full version copy of visual studio .NET. I showed up early with a couple of Mandrake CD's in my pocket, grabbed a bunch of the Visual Studio .NET packets, switched out the cds with Mandrake, and sat down watching some very confused people open up a microsoft packet with Linux Cd's inside : ) mark > > Thanks! -- 1:12pm up 23:42, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.05, 0.01
