Well,
The only vendor stuff I've received is the stuff I solicited directly.
None of the vendors have responded to the LDD contact for LUCI (to my
knowledge, as of yesterday) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which, I admit, is midly
aggravating since we've been an active LUG for 2 years, and we've been
working with LUGs since '95.
On my own, I have had a BEAUTIFUL response from Red Hat, and from VA
Research. Thanks Guys, if you read this :) I've also contacted SuSE
directly, and they should be sending me stuff soon too. We have a lot of
SuSE users, so hopefully they'll be as good to me, as they have been to
you guys too ;)
Looking forward to getting your stories about your event, to post on
linux.com!!
