The talk was titled "SSH: The Easy Way" and it was full
of tips about how to use ssh from the command line and
how to use the ~/.ssh/config file to make it easier.  I talked
about everything from basic connections and keys to
tunnelling and remote access for a variety of services.
My favorite complaint was that I didn't give this talk a
year ago, which would have save one listener a lot of time
and frustration.

Swag wasn't quite as good, and there were less tee shirts
available.  I told the folks at the LPI table that I was glad
I had their level 2 cert, and they gave me a Tux with a
mortar board.  This is a very nice addition to my Tux
collection.

Well, let's just say that when they gave out the prize for the
best pjs, I didn't qualify.  The funny thing was that I did bring
some pjs, but didn't want to walk all the way back to my room.
I really only recalled seeing one guy who was wild and crazy
enough to qualify.  The cookies and hot cocoa were delicious,
and since we were talking about Linux there weren't any scary
stories.  I went to sessions about vim and ipv6 which were
quite good.
