Depends on what you're interested in, of course. :-)  Me, I had a
interesting time at the VMWare booth, and at the Win4Lin one, and the Ximian
(formerly Helix Gnome) treehouse :-) , as well as the EtherBoot/Linux
Terminal Server Project booth. But maybe you wouldn't.

There are LOTS of exhibits about clustering ... embedded Linux is BIG this
year ...many hardware devices. Lotta rack-mount servers.

But the IBM Linux-on-a-watch is AMAZING, as is their 800x600 CLEAR and
BRIGHT SuperVGA level display watch. Truly wonderous.

Not publically available, but still - a hell of an acheivement.
