I'm struck most by the focus on the enterprise. Everyone here sees targeting enterprise infrastructure as the goal, with very little focus on, say, home users.
The Linux Mobile Alliance has
a cell phone platform running Linux![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
on a 300MHz ARM, with a
reasonable display and digitizer.
I'm noting Emperor Linux because they
sell preconfigured Linux laptops, and next time I'm looking for such
a beast I think it'll be worth a small premium to get the kernel and
asorted low-level modules fully configured.
Bruce Perens has a booth for his UserLinux, and while I was standing there I noticed
that Conrad Oho was standing beside me with a "Fairfax, CA" address
on his badge, so we got into a discussion about human powered
vehicles. He wants to build a platform to work towards replacing
automobile traffic, with the designs open sourced.
If you're here, either call my cell at 415-378-4594, or I'll probably be hanging around The Linux Show booth trying to get famous.
