Cool.  I can get you Mandrake ISOs.  Do you have a DVD drive in it?
If so, I'll burn them all to one DVD and bring them with me.

How about trying something like Rhythmbox?  Just to show off the organization
stuff too?  Or setting up something like Apache::MP3 or Gnump3d to stream it
to a few of the other PCs too.

Sweet!  That would rock.

Ok, so for demos we have

1) a packet (or possibly aprs) station running of AFU Knoppix.
2) Josephs's machine playing mp3s and doing digital camera stuff
3) Machines burning CDs.
4) Games? O:-) (Bzflag, and perhaps frozen bubble :-)
5) I can bring the Gentoo PPC Live CD I have an boot up that on my ibook.
6) Anything else?

Cheers,
Tanner
