i will gladly volunteer to help staff the trilug table anytime that i'm
needed.  i can also bring nay necessary hardware that might be needed
(workstations, server, hub/switch, cables, etc).

two suggestions for the booth:

1. have an LTSP server, thin clients make good demos (or workstations
acting as thin clients)

2. have at least one workstation/server running NFS and several distros
copied to the disk so if anyone wants we could do a network install on the
spot.

whoever is 'organizing' the trilug table, just let me know how i can help.
