Linux and Red Hat in particular were present really everywhere. Red Hat 8.0 installations showed up but they were truly a rare sight. On few occasions participants were asked specifically what they are running. Among other things lots and lots of 7.3 and 7.2 Red Hat systems. People using 8.0 were a scarce oddity but very numerous statements of a sort "we tried 8.0 and it does not work; we will wait with updates for something usable". Fonts issues were likely not on the top of "broken" list but generally people were not very happy. They tend to dismiss troubles because x.0 releases had "traditionally" sizeable rosters of issues but it seems that they may be for a long wait.
