ScottYelich, I dont know what you mean by interesting, but overe the last 2-3 years Linuxworld has become more of a buisness meet rather than the geeky atmosphere which presided before.
But geek factor apart, I think there were a lot of interesting things happening. Of course listening to a Oracle exec or Sun technician talking about \"Unbreakable Linux\" or Java desktop might not be so interesting, but there were a lot of activity going on.
Ximian (with its mono emphasis), Suse and Novell with their new found Linux enthusiam and the smaller vendors were trying to show off their best. Of course in between were the big Iron category from IBM and the giants. You just had to look around for the interesting part.
In fact I saw quite a few vendors using the Zaurus in their setup. NetOP (or something like that ) and a few others were carying the zaurus and using it in their field of work - which I found interesting as to how you could use the zaurus in new ways (which i myself havent tried of course).
I found out about the IBM websphere and the 6000 implementation only because I asked about that and this guy fished out the Zaurus 6000 from his pocket and demo-ed the webshepere suite. Otherwise all I would have seen would be the server racks in the IBM booth (whcih I understand is neither interesting to me).
Free stuff - hardly much - its was all suited booted execs doing the round, hence the lack of nerdy stuff, but better than last year (when the industry was sucked dry).
Sadly I was there by the stairs (as one poster planned to meet there) but found no fellow Zaurus users (this was the first day).
