Robin's Report From LWCE

Posted by timothy on from the how-are-the-tshirts dept.

For everyone who can't make it to New York, roblimo has posted impressions of LWCE's first day, in which he takes note of Start buttons, prods Dell about laptops factory loaded with Linux, and watches the Golden Penguin Bowl. I suppose he was also asking vendors some of your questions.

    I like having Apache and an FTP server on my laptop.

    1. When inspiration strikes, tt's nice to be able to do development & test new ideas on my long bus ride.

    2. Showing my bosses the next generation of our web application, running on my personal laptop is a great thing in so many, many different ways. :)

    3. It's sometmes easier to FTP files back and forth from the laptop than to set up an NFS mount.
