If it ever actually hits the open market and someone local ends up with one, the ASUS Eee PC would be something cool to show off. It's a very low cost ($199-$399) Ultra Mobile PC that is supposed to run a custom Xandros install on SSD - the only spinning part is the fan. The Linux install is the default config, though they might also ship with a driver CD for WinXP. I've been salivating for a chance to see one hands on for a while now. They "might" ship by mid-Oct. It would be pretty nice to show "hot new tech" at the show while also showcasing the Linux that it runs.

Hi All, I finally got into contact with the correct people at ITEC and should receive the contract for the free both today or tomorrow. For some reason, our info was handled by the people who normally do businesses. Who will be able to man the booth? Which CDs and other stuff will we give out? What cool tech do we want to display?
