Public Speaking

["Richard Zimmerman" <ke4rit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I have been asked by the Elkhart County (Indiana) PC Users Group to come
give a talk about Linux along with a demo. While I'm not a real strong public
speaker, I have given speeches before with a moderate degree of success.

    I would like to ask your all's input as to what aspects of Linux should I
show. While I can demonstrate StarOffice, connectivity, IPChains, Etc. I'm
sure there are a 100 different angels I haven't even looked at as yet.

    Since they want a specific demo, I was thinking of dragging out my dumb
terminals to demonstrate that Linux is quite capable of handling multiple
sessions using many different modes TTY on serial, xterm form Windows, etc. I
also wanted to touch on Linux ability to scale, security, stability, etc.

    Any suggestions are quite welcome and yes I'm planning to use Klugs link
pages to look at the Linux Advocacy links we have ! <Grin>

P.S. This is my public announcement that I got demand dialing working!!!!
Actually, I had to get over the embarrassment it was working all the time....
Call it the DUH factor!!!! <BG> I was using ping / nslookup to test the
connection when I should have been using http all along!!!!

    Yes I'll field ppp questions!!!! :{}
