Presentations For ITEC - Submit Early!!!

[Warren Togami]

The Linux native apps like StarOffice, OpenOffice, GIMP, CorelOffice and
CorelDraw would run plenty fast on my thin client hardware, so we wont need
to bring extra hardware for that job.

Deven,
Can you get copies of CorelOffice and/or CorelDraw for the event?

Whoever does the VMWare and Win4Lin demo's, please be sure that you have a
lightning fast machine with plenty of RAM.  You can borrow some sticks of
256MB or 512MB from my extra servers if needed.

> Just an opinion, but, I think it would be better to show the OSS
alternatives to windows apps.  Why would I switch my desktop if I still have
to use MS Office and Photoshop.  Showing off the power of GIMP and Open
Office would in my opinion be better for demos.  Corel Office and Draw for
Linux might be good too (even thought they run on top of a modified WINE,
they are marketed as linux native).  It would be nice to have the windows
apps running under *nix to show people who say they can't live without them
or don't trust the OSS solution, but I don't think we should focus on
showing how we can run windows apps.  Just a thought, maybe I'm too bias.
