Hey Dave, I'll try and answer your questions as best I can. Yes, it is an install and tweak fest. It seems silly to exclude one over the other. Besides, there are lots of tweaks once someone has their system installed.
The web page has been updated. If you want to edit it to include a list of names you are more than welcome but as the wiki is insecure I would rather take everyone's name down who is interested. The last one was fairly informal and it went that if you had your questions all set to go there were people to answer them. Again, I cannot stress enough that anyone planning on attending and getting their system install, do some homework first and make sure your hardware is supported. I would suggest if this is your first Linux install to go with a dedicated box if you can spare it and run of the mill hardware, nothing wacky. Also, start small, don't set yourself up for disappointment by intending to create a multi level super server. I would wager that there might be the odd guru willing to take the challenge but I suspect the KISS principle would be better for the average newb. I like the idea of listing what you plan to install however as that would enable those of us organizing it to have the necessary resources there. I'm hoping that people will be generous and bring burned copies of their favourite distro. I cannot say how thankful people were to Jeff Clement for burning multiple copies of Mandrake and Knoppix last time. This will be fun.
