Well, I had 32 computers that varied in brand and CPU booting to a  
newly installed 4.4.1 server.  I had planned to have the whole group  
log in and "play" while I answered questions and talked a little  
about Linux and thin clients.

I had 1 man show up.  I was told to expect 30, and I had 1.  He was  
already a Linux user, and came because, well, because if you see  
"Linux" in our local newspaper, it makes penguin lovers curious.

So hardware-wise it went perfectly (never did solve the glx issue on  
the macs though) but I was lacking in attendance.

Thanks for asking though,
-Shawn
