I recently attended the LinuxWorld Expo 2005 here in London, UK on the 5th October. This was the first dedicated Linux show I’ve been to, and I have to say I was impressed. It was a lot smaller than I expected - about 60 stands - and some of the larger companies weren’t brilliantly represented (a virtually non-existent IBM presence, for example), but there were some gems of products and companies, and a few little surprises along the way.

I’ve got a full report on Linux Today - some nuggets include the Sun stand, the Centrify software and the fun and games of the Gentoo stand.
