Who's planning on going? I'd like to, we'll see how schedules work out.

I have a Sun SparcStation5 110mhz that I'd like to install gentoo or 
netBSD on (yeah I know, it's a Linux group, but I wanna play with 
netBSD) and a laptop that needs redoing with gentoo (durn cd burner in 
my desktop's messed up, or I'd do it at home).

The only problem is that the SS5 doesn't have a cd-rom in it, and I 
don't have any 50pin SCSI cd-roms. Would someone be able to bring one? 
It's also got the odd old sun keyboard, mouse, and monitor hookups. my 
normal 19" monitor does have BNC inputs on it if someone has a sun 
monitor -> bnc cable, or better, if there's a sun monitor on site 
(doubtful). I've also heard that a serial laplink type cable can be used 
for console access, but I don't know where mine went (probably 
disappeared in the last move).

Anywho, I think it'd be a blast to hang out for several hours and geek 
around.
