> Linux Journal -- Hardware Review: Lini Desktop:

> "I occasionally read that one of the major PC vendors, such as Dell or
> HP, is coming out with some sort of Linux box. Similarly, I read
> statements from Linux enthusiasts hoping for such an event, so that
> Linux on the desktop really will take off. My bias is slightly
> different. I note the vendors such as SW Technology Los Alamos
> Computers, Open Sense Computing and many others who have thrown in
> their lot with Linux and subscribe to some sort of open-source
> philosophy. These are the sorts of vendors from whom I prefer to buy.
> I would be sorry to see the giants in the industry overwhelm these
> little guys, who are much more likely to share my Linux enthusiasm.

> "Let's say you work in Hollywood. Or the contentious zone where
> Net-based tech and Hollywood overlap. And you have an agenda:
> transforming the whole entertainment industry. Now let's say there's a
> conference with the same overlapping circles--Digital Hollywood--and
> the same agenda: transforming the industry. What would your subjects,
> your tracks, be? What would your topics be? Who would you want for
> speakers and panelists?"
