I'm planning on dragging a couple in as well, which distro will yours have? I will be sure to install a distro other than yours.

Last year I think Chris just posted the username and password for the Exhibitor Login and let people sign themselves up for Exhibitor badges.
Frankly I'd like to be just an Exhibitor this year. It felt weird manning the booth last year on a regular Attendee badge. Also, Exhibitor folks can come in on Tuesday to set up the booth, which would be nice given that I plan on bringing a regular desktop system and monitor this year.

On the same note, how do we get passes if we plan on manning the booth?

Does anyone know the deadline for registering as a normal ITEC attendee?
The ITEC website doesn't say there is one, but it

say that all registration applications will be evaluated, which implys a final point past which

registrations will be accepted.

The machine is 600Mhz, PII or PIII, Intel anyway. I had to install Debian 3.1r3. I wanted to install Ubuntu 6.06 on the machine, but Ubuntu refused to get past the installer screen and crashed a lot, dropping me out of XWindows into a useless user prompt. I tried the Ubuntu Alternate installer CD and that crashed a lot too. I never got Dapper Drake to install on that machine.
I'm really wondering about Ubuntu. I was told Ubuntu was created primarily to give third world countries an easy-to-setup OS other than Windows, but if the *installer* crashes on the type of computer likely to be donated to third world countries, how will this goal be fulfilled?
Oh, I did link up to the testing and unstable packages so I could install OpenOffice.org 2.0. This was the original reason I wanted to install Dapper Drake, since 6.06 comes with OpenOffice.org 2.0. The machine has a TV card on it too (cheap little bttv), I was thinking of dragging along a DVD player to demonstrate TV in Linux.
I don't think that two Debian machines would be a problem. Its not like we're attending a fancy computer party and it would be embarassing to find out someone else is wearing the same distro.

I think that you would find that Debian Etch beta 3 is quite an improvement over the user experience of 3.1r3. I would suggest installing this instead. Download the full ISO if you go this route; not the net install.
