Though I did not attend the talks(thank god!), I came to know that the talks
did not rise to the expectations of many.
I had been to the exhibition at IISc and one could see SCO and other Un*x
vendors praising "linux"! When the hell did they start liking "linux"? I did
not see a single "Linux" machine at the SCO stall(though all of them in the
stall were wearing a "linux" T-shirt.)

Those windows/mac users who visited the stall and heard about "Linux"(no GNU
here) first from the exhibiters would have gone back with the impression that,
SCO/SuSe/Oracle are the developers of "linux". For the first time, I admired
the RedHat stall. They kept a low kew compared to the other stalls. The
linux-india stall also did an excellent job.
