I could be there from 2 - 7 with my laptop, freshly
installed with gentoo, er, should I say, compiled
gentoo...? ;-) I can boot off of cd so the machine can
be used to demonstrate either gentoo or knoppix (or
any other livecd's out there...?)

We do have access to AC out there, right? My Laptop
won't last 5 hours on a charge.
