“It’s about having a good time and learning a lot along the way”. That’s what “Captain” Neil Bauman says about Geek Cruises, which he launched in May
2000. He wanted to take those two basic geek imperatives and equip them to an unlikely extreme: running a week-long conference of courses and seminars
on a cruise ship and sailing it through some of the most thought-inspiring settings in the world.

That’s what happened this past September, when Linux Lunacy III toured Alaska’s Inside Passage on board the M.S. Amsterdam, a 780-foot-long Holland
America cruise ship. It also happened with
Linux Lunacy I (2001) and Linux Lunacy II, which covered the Eastern and Western Caribbean. And it will happen again next year with Linux Lunacy IV
(2004), which will depart from Venice and call on ports in the Eastern Mediterranean. LL4 will be the first Geek Cruise in Europe. Like the first
three, it will be sponsored by Linux Journal.
