Chuck,
Thanks for the awesome report. As always, you give great feedback to us about what happens at these regional events and we're grateful. I also applaud your initiative in burning DVDs to keep us current with 11.2. SMASHING!
Please keep up the good work, keep up the spirit of openSUSE. I hope we get to cross paths soon enough.

Guys,
I wish you guys could have come. The Southeast Linuxfest was great.
I like to first thanks James Mason from the 11.2 DVD, Poster, Zypper Cheat, and broads. Jon Regan for 11.2 DVD he had. The Novell Team in Atlanta for the SUSE Enterprise Linux DVD. Yancy Smith for the help.
The event was great. Because of the short number of 11.2 DVD, I had burn a number of DVD and CD myself. These were openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e(Linux for Education), openSUSE Gnome Live CD (32bit and 64bit), and openSUSE 11.2 DVD. I took with me this time three laptops. One was running a set of slides about the openSUSE Community, high lighting Build Service and SUSE Studio. The second laptop ran openSUSE 11.2. The third running openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7. I also made about 300 copies of Zypper Cheat sheet that James sent me. VIM Cheat Sheet, The One Page Linux Command Sheet and a sheet that I create for openSUSE with basic commands.
I boot up on the one laptop running openSUSE Li-f-e to let a couple of teacher play with it. They really love the LTSP and how we had our apps were laid out.
One of the top questions that was ask a lot was, "What makes SUSE stand out above other distro?"
I had got to help one user that was having issue with the video drivers. He had a Nvidia Card that when he installed it wouldn't load correct. He was really upset that it was doing that, I show him on one of my laptops how when you about to install it, to use VESA setting. He was so happy.
I got a lot great comments about people been using since such and such version. I was really surprise to see the openSUSE Gnome Live CD with 11.3 milestone go so quick. At one point I had to burn more.
One sad note, people keep asking me where the Tuxes were and Geekoes. I had two Geekos, that I gave to people that asked me if they could test drive openSUSE on my laptops. Oh, I would like to thanks for the Geekos I got, they are very different than the ones we have here in the states and people notice. They Love Them!
I volunteer with passing out the gifts at the end of the show. I am planning to help out next with Southeast Linux.
