I was only one day on LinuxTAG last year -- I think three boxes and so
many people are not needed. One box with two people or max two boxes
with at least three or four should work fine.

Thanks Alex. But this was also a general question for other events,
therefor I would still be interested in other peoples opinion. 

IMHO it not only better for both sides (Red Hat and Fedora) to be
present on one booth -- it's probably also cheaper.
