I have a Dell Poweredge 2650 server, and some laptops, could use the
server to show off business possibilities, with the dell RAC thing.

Hi,
I can get a free venue, its not right in the centre of town but its only a 5
min walk from there. I might also be able to hold an event at Uni, I have
asked around and I have had alot of interest from staff (I am sure students
will also be interested) There is potential for 2 events or, with enough
advertising we could have 1 larger one. I love the idea of showing off a
server install, i have also thought about doing demo's on app's like
Wine
ans Fusion then show things like browsers, email, IM ect.
Any other ideas?

Thank you all for offering your help.

Clare

Sounds awesome, I can do the server, and i run games in wine, modern
ones, they should be fun to show off.

Maybe virtual machines, VMWare VirtualBox, etc..?

Oh, by the way, what days are on the sheet for this, i need about 2
weeks notice because of work, even for weekends. But it shouldn't be a
problem, me showing up, generally.

physical media, etc?
