They can be limited in presentation time to bite-size chunks, and perhaps even presented in parallel if they really fall into basic/advanced tracks. Personally, I am interested in Samba as PDC, serving Linux resources (disk & print) to Windows clients, strategies for common user/group management between Linux & Windows, and how Samba fits into a distributed environment (i.e., parts of an enterprise that communicate through public access Internet) with SSH, VPN, etc. Actually, what I am really interested in is troubleshooting my installations at home. If we have access to a broadband connection at the next installfest, this type of personal assistance would be possible. Besides the fact that they are in Austin, I'm not going bring in the four or more systems in my house and reproduce my network to do this, but I can remote access. Besides, guided learning in the art of remote maintenance is a valuable installfest feature in general for folks like me, comfortable with a single system and looking to expand my scope to multi-system issues. I'll even volunteer to bring my wireless router and donate the use of my dial-up account if necessary.
