I've got a P4 2.4GHz box with a gig o' RAM and 15" LCD monitor that can
perform whatever functions... and likely can put a couple of PIII units on
the pile as well, minus monitors.  I can bring a 36-port 10/100 switch (3Com
junk) and a D-Link wireless access point (DWL-7100AP, does a and g) if the
need presents itself.  Will there be any form of Internet access available?
If so, I can throw in an IPCop 1.4.0 firewall to hide everything behind.

If anyone has a *nix box that can do S-Video output, I can bring a semi-sexy
20" flat-screen TV too - but we really aught to have something worth
"looking at" before we go through the trouble. (I think the resolution in
that configuration is likely 640x480 or some such.)

I'll probably also bring my Dell Latitude D800 along, dual booting XP and
Fedora Core 2... Obviously won't be letting that out of my sight unless I
have something very solid to chain it to.

When we say "demo stuff" what are we thinkin' of, Open Office and the like?
I think juxtaposing function X on Windows against open function X on *nix is
a pretty good idea to show off inter-operability as long as it isn't a pipe
dream.  (I.E. create a Word doc on Windows, xfer to *nix and voila, you can
still use it, etc.)
