If you mean Stuttgart, then first, thanks a lot. Well, it was probably Wim Vandeputte, a Belgian. wvdputte@kd85.com He actually was mainly promoting OpenBSD. The new 2.7 version of June 16th was available for 60 German Marks ~30 U$. We also had the first CD of the WC 4.0 FreeBSD set for sale for symbolic 5 DM to cover some of our costs there (we had to drink a lot in those halls without air conditioning, and about 10-15 computers (varying with the amount of notebooks brought to us for additional care and install measurements) produced lots of heat. (Was also a demonstration of stable CD burning and simultaneously doing ftp and stuff at 8x. Pity was that the CD-R went too hot after ~50 CDs the afternoon...) Lehmanns (a big bookstore) also had some copies of their FreeBSD 4.0 distribution for sale for 40 DM.
