I'll be happy to bring my Dell, with SuSE 9.2. I don't have any 
particular ideas for cool things to show, but if anyone has suggestions, 
I'll be happy to take them.

It is an older machine (700 MHz P3, ATI Mach 64 video), so things that 
require state-of-the-art 3D support won't work well on it.

I'll be happy to burn CDs, too. I'll even donate the blanks; I've got 
lots of them.

I'm already on the list for all day Wednesday and Thursday. I'm hoping 
we have enough booth coverage that I can get a bit of time away for good 
behavior, but I'll stay at the booth all day if we need that.
