Hi!

Maybe I'm already quite tired, but I didn't understand everything in
your mail...

Sorry, couldn't parse that sentence...

Hmmm, nothing interesting at home here: Lot of old PC hardware ranging
from P90 over Dual-P166 to 500 MHz K6, all with Woody installed. My
PII-400 has tough enough free disk space to install an additional
sarge or sid on it.

I could also bring instead a Hamstation 5 (Sparc Clone), which is
planned to get a Debian installed on it, but I never installed a new
OS on Sparc hardware before, so I don't know, if that would be a good
idea, because we may run into (obviously not so) unexpected trouble.
Also the monitor for that pizza box is not very handy (an old 19" CRT
with about 35kg *uff*).

Maybe Christoph can bring his DEC Alpha, IIRC it was also at the
Debian Booth at LK two weeks ago...

I guess, an OpenZaurus doesn't count as Debian. ;-)

Oh, ic. I'll try to fix my idea (of getting 2 days of holidays) towards
promises. :-)

Christoph: Do you think, you can order that stuff again from Joey for
Luxembourg? I could also care for the transport from Saarbrücken to
Luxembourg. Maybe also Andreas Steinel can make some of the
transportation tasks. He said in IRC, that he'll make a visit, too.
But I can't remember if he said, when.

What about t-shirts? IIRC Grisu is the Debian t-shirt specialist. ;-)

  Ok, so is there anyone on this list, who can give us about 3-4m² of
 not so cold floor in Luxembourg for sleeping during Linuxdays.lu? :-)

After LK it was given to someone who went to Linux World Expo to FFM,
so that the poster currently should be at the Debian Booth there.
Christoph should know the details.

> Could someone please care for the transportation to Luxembourg.

If necessary, I can fetch that poster and other decoration and
merchandising things at Frankfurt this week or the next weekend. It's
just about 40-50km from here. I try to contact a friend of mine, who
is IIRC at the Debian Booth at LWE in FFM and can perhaps store a few
things.

I see. Ok, I'll ask my boss tomorrow if I can get both days off for
the Linuxdays.lu. Can't promise anything yet, but I'll send an update,
when I got feedback from him. If 2 days are a problem for the company,
I'll try to get Thursday only, because I think most of us, who get
only one day off, get Friday.

BTW: Best way to contact me quickly at the moment is IRC: Look for
XTaran in IRCnet or LUGS-Net (irc.lugs.ch). Or ICQ: 34125732
