I was having one of those conversations with some random person, who it turns out was interviewing me for some publication (not even sure if it was online or print), but in any event, I had told him that I used FreeBSD more often than Linux, for better networking performance, and (from my perception at least) better overall stability. I also got to chat with a couple of people at the booth about odd things I had to do to the network startup scripts to get them to work in my environment (2 DHCP addressed interfaces), and even got a little beanie demon. A fun thing overall, and now I have many way to spread propaganda (case stickers, bumper stickers, assorted other stickers. If anyone on here was involved, congrats on a job well done. Too bad I could only make it for one day though... I missed the BOF session tonight in exchange for seeing the keynote yesterday morning.
