It was a surprise, that's for sure. However, now that I have the CD's - I actually plan on installing the OS on a spare P.C. to see if I can learn something about Linux. But, I doubt that VFP can run on it - does anyone know the answer?

I don't have the CD's with me right now, but there was a message on each CD explaining why it was given to the attendees.
