That's true, I know several people who got interested in Linux because they
were shown Linux at a convention... As a matter of fact, cnet (www.cnet.com)
just had a story about one of the cnet employees completly switching to
Linux for a month after seeing what it could do at a convention...

Again, You reach another point... I think the best way of advertising on the
web is though a reliable source such as cnet, techweb, zdnet (sometimes), PC
Mag., and other like that... The only way to reach those people is though
convention or word of mouth...
