Innovative thing in linux for a demo show

Friends.

Next month, me and my friends are going to show a demo on linux to a
technology day in my office.

Give your suggestions that what are the things we can show about the
power of linux.

Most people are less computer literate or no knowledge abt computers.

so, we have to show vary simple but useful things.

please suggest.

I decided to setup auto telephone answering maching using a modem.

any other ideas?

Thanks.

T.Shrinivasan.

Is this a demo for linux as server or desktop?

Faxserver with hylafax (isdn or analog-modem)

Jan

Thanks Jan.

The technology is for overall company.
it is a mechanical company.
So the mech people will show the new machines.

Electronics people will show embeed systems.

IT people will show in windows softwares like voice recognision etc.

As Linux people we would like to show some thing superb.

I dont know abt fax server. Let me read on it.

Any more ideas?

One of the more impressive things for me has been the power of
'imageindex' to turn a pile of digital images into a photo gallery.
Particularly if you have added comment fields to the pictures.

knoppmyth or mythdora....

Freevo.

VLC.

lirc, gkrellm....

AFAIK, these things don't even exist in the windows world. (OK, you have
windows MCE, but it's not even close....) Knoppmyth comes on a live
CD - You can make the boss's laptop be a myth frontend.
