I thought about bb and was able to build this package on the alpha
with a small patch, but it doesn't run stable on alpha but segfaults
after a minute. So bb should run on a different machine (preferably a
i386).
Are there other demo applications available?

Small addition: I'm not completely sure, whether I will stay for all
four days in Stuttgart. But maybe we find a way to work this
around...

No, I wasn't in Braunschweig, so this wasn't my machine (but maybe a
similar one). If you need more information about the machine, see

Last year the Hurd PC was a publicity magnet, so it would be great if
someone with a Hurd PC (and Hurd knowledge!) would be there.

Don't forget Mozilla. It needs much RAM, but it is a powerful web
browser, which also runs on non-i386 machines.

What about demos of games? For example pingus (but this doesn't seem
to be in the distribution at the moment)...

The AlphaStation is quite handy, because it's in a small desktop case,
where the monitor can be placed on top.
Tschoeeee
