The Haps from LWCE: Samba Wins, RH w/XFS, BOF

Posted by Hemos on Thursday February 1, 2001 @03:04AM from the all-the-news-that's-fit-to-print dept.

We've been at LinuxWorld for the last couple days, and some interesting stuff has been going on: The SAMBA folks won the $25,000 IDG/Linus Torvalds award, and SGI announced the availability of RH7-based distro using XFS^[?]. In other news, our BOF went well with many questions about Slashcode - and the Perl Monks booth has been doing great in donations. Update: 02/01 05:18 PM by CT : The highlight for me so far was judging the "Coveted" Golden Penguin Awards w/ Don. Actually, I seriously did covet the award, beautiful hand blown glass penguin made me wish I was a contestant. We judged that Linus got the definition of BogoMIPS wrong. Fortunately his still won, but it was truly joyous seeing the surprise on his face.

News.com has some video in RealVideo or Windows Media Player up now. They seem to be cutting over to a reporter live on the floor of the show, so I expect they'll be putting more up as they find their stories.

The slashdot stand looks kinda slick...
