I travel quite a bit - and always carry copies. I've handed out at
least a dozen copies, and on 2 fortunate occasions have been dragged into
Continental's Presidents Club to discuss with BigWigs during a forced
layovers (as NorthWorst attempts to keep a plane bungeed together long
enough to head down the runway). My laptop touts a couple bumper stickers
("Linux Lives!" and "Open Source is not a Crime") and always gets interested
onlookers. 'Course, I lose a bit of credibility if I'm running Windoze at
the moment ;)
The Knoppix Live-CD is AWESOME for these purposes. I even got my
sister to take the Unreal Demo version...... Linux is just plain cool in so
many ways...
