Tuesday at 1:30 PM Pacific Time, Dr. Kevin Kettler, Dell’s Chief Technology Officer, will deliver a Keynote address on Virtualization, both in the data center and in emerging use on the desktop. Kevin will incorporate points on the top two topics when voting on IdeaStorm closed Friday last week: Future of Linux on the Desktop and Linux for Virtualization on the Desktop Thanks to all of you in the Linux Community who participated in the vote. We appreciate your support.

Then on the exhibition floor, drop by the Dell booth showcasing Power and Cooling, see our story around Simplifying IT, and register for our daily giveaway of an Inspiron 1420N notebook.
Alongside the Dell booth is the Linux on the Desktop area, where you can experience Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Novell/SuSE Linux, and other Linux software on 18 Dell Latitude D620 laptops.
