My good friend Jake and I trucked up to new york and were sitting pretty close to where this camera is to watch this speech. We were fairly new to Linux at this point, the year before I was RedHat certified for the first time and only about 4 years prior to this speech I installed my first Slackware system (it was on a stack of floppies and took about 12 hours to install).
This was the conference where we came home with about 20 pounds of giveaways. Ahh, the good ol days.
Watch it here:

He talks quite a bit about Unix fragmentation. It’s striking in 2008 how fragmented Linux has become.
He also says, in 2000, Java is dying.
