Should I have let them know they could "up" their framerate by using DSL ?
Special Thanks to Matt and Erin at Mepis for their exceptional hospitality.
A good bunch of folks over there at Mepis, putting their heart and soul

Looked like a good time. Were you able to spread the word much? Did you get to hand out any liveCDs? Did you have a booth?
Posted by roberts on Aug. 24 2005,20:36
Yes, we spread the word, handed out many cds. Impressed many, including some skeptical hardware vendors, where we booted up and demo'ed DSL!. Many knew of us! Personally, I ran into, John "Mad Dog" Hall, he remember me from the first Linux World, where I was a presenter (Linux and the City of Garden Grove). I handed him a cd too! It was indeed alot of fun. The weather was beautiful; so cool!
