Larry's ALS talk summary

Here's a summary of the points that came up in Larry's Atlanta Linux Showcase talk. I've run this summary past Larry, and he has approved it as being a fair representation of what he said. Remember that these are just his current thoughts, not concrete decisions. This is available on the web th

Re: Larry's ALS talk summary

Not to seem ungrateful, but is there any hope of getting the slides up as well? You'd think it'd be a no-brainer, but there have been many Wall speeches that have gone by with no slides on the web (well, none that I could find, anyway.) I want to know what the audience is laughing at... :) -Joh
