event is split up into two parts, so running alongside

the expo will be a conference, which is an event in

it’s own right.

face, which will hopefully allow you to

build your confidence in the company

and their products. Most importantly,

there is always the chance to get some

freebies.

Users, especially those who are keen

to make the migration away from

other platforms now have the chance

to see what is available for them and

their situation. At this one meeting you

can see and evaluate what products are available, get

a good idea as to what is going to be made available

in the future and get the chance to discuss your

problems and issues with those people who are

going to make the future. It is here also that you get

a unique chance to meet people such as yourself, to

discuss, share, and hopefully, collectively solve the

problems you currently face.

Linux Expo

It is at the exposition where you will be able view and

gain a better understanding of the Linux

marketplace, with its wide range of products and

services, and includes offerings from major players in

the information technology arena, like Borland, to

some of the small, niche service providers.

It is thanks to expositions like this one which give

rise to the chance to bring together people from a

wide range of disciplines. Here you’ll get the chance

to mix with hardware and software developers, users

in both corporate and domestic markets and those

who have wares, services and products to bring to

the market place.

Developers in GNU/Linux and other Free and Open

Source projects, who have fundamentally made Linux

what it is, will be able to attend thanks to the

generosity of the organisers in providing the

‘Community Village’, a vital link and a not-to-be-

missed chance to make contact with this most

important sector of the Linux world.

Companies, like IBM, will be there, offering you

the chance to see their latest related products and

allowing you to assess their commitment to the Linux

phenomenon, with stand size being only one

reflection of that commitment. Here you get the

During the conference you will be able to hear the

views of some of the people that have made Linux

the major issues affecting the Linux world. This is

another unique chance to meet the top specialists

and hear what they have to say!

For those with more practical needs, you are

which are specially designed to provide technical

information on a wide variety of subjects in
