Yup, great write-up, Ben. Just to add my two cents... I counted 26,  
making it one of the top meetings of the year.

The thing I love about LUG meetings is that you'll always pick up  
something new, whether presenting or listening or schmoozing in the  
back of the room. As Shawn started his presentation, he tried  
starting a terminal window in his freshly installed FC6 desktop, and  
the option wasn't on the menu. "Didn't that used to be here?" he  
asked. from the back of the room, Matt said:

yum install nautilus-terminal

Great pointer!

Shawn did a great job, as Ben indicated, and I got a lot out of the  
presentation. The best tip of the night for me was the pointer that  
VMWare can run a Vm from a previously-installed dual-boot  
configuration. He pointed out the procedure:

partition

Great tip!
