I was at the Chicago comdex as an exhibitor right down the hall from SuSE
and it was quite nice to see everyone there and I would have to say that the
Linux pavillion was quite popular with folks.  I found that people were
quite interested in Linux in general and wanted to know what it offered,
what it would do, and how it would relate to their existing networks.  There
was a lot of basic questions regarding the distributions and what each
offered.  Caldera demoed their new 2.2 graphical installer as part of the
show.  I missed Linus' speech since I did not arrive until after that. 
Redhat showed a lot of desktops running 5.2 with gnome and enlightenment.  

Since the chicago comdex was officially known as Windows World, I think the
interest shown by vendors, admin and systems integrators, and other folks
was quite nice.  

I dont want to drone on about comdex but it was quite refreshing to see the
level of energy and appeal that Linux was given there.  Quite invigorating.
