FreeBSD?  Hmm, I'd actually like that, as I have it sitting around but never
got the time to tweak/fiddle/play around with it to the point of doing "useful
work".

WRT presentations, I could probably put something together about PHP (or
CGI.pl) and MySQL/Oracle, but then so could many other people.  I've done some
rather pedestrian stuff with POVray and mpeg_encode, but that's certainly not
Linux-specific.  I've spent a lot of time on Usenet (comp.os.linux.* , "Dances
With Crows") advising folks about using CD-R(W)s under Linux, doing basic
scripting crud, and configging sound/video/kernels, so if y'all see a need,
I'm willing to put something together there.

LaTeX has been on the "this is neat, learn about it sometime" list for me for
the last 1.5 years, so I'm curious about that too.  Looking forward to the
meeting, where/whenever it gets held....
