Dunno what the percentage was. I think ApacheCon had about 1,200 visitors over two days, about 500 or so where there for the technical conference as well. We have away about 300 FreeBSD 4.0 CDs (maybe a bit more than 300, I don't have the figures in front of me). Also, we (BSDi) sponsored the proceedings for the show, which were on CD. This gave us about 250MB of space on the proceedings CD to use, so I put the CVS tree on it (gzip'd, obviously). As for a show presence, we had a 3x3m booth. I don't have pictures on the web yet, but I'll try and sort something out. Oh yeah, we also got horns on the people manning the registration desks, and on all the conference staff who were wandering around handing out drinks and nibbles after the keynotes. People were definitely aware that the daemon was there. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free.
