If interested, I can loan a RedHat 9 System, 550 Althon, 256bm Ram, burner, monitor etc and also setup RedHat and Mandrake images and boot disks for NFS installs. I can also donate 10 recent KNOPPIX CD's for donation which will have my company name on the labels.
Please let me know if CLUG would like these and I will ensure everything is ready to go prior to the InstallFest. I cant promise that I can deliver and attend so someone may need to pick these things up.

The event will be held between <br>10:00 am and 5:00 pm. It will take some time to set up and take down so the <br>event formally runs from 11:00 to 4:00. <br> <br>Things will run slightly differently this time around. Folks will have to wait <br>for their turn to hook up their machine. This is simply to protect Nexus from <br>blowing breakers like last time when we had too many machine overloading <br>their circuits. This is bad for Nexus and potentially bad for your computers. <br>Your understanding and patience in this matter is appreciated. <br> <br>We are looking for volunteers to help out with the event. We may need any of <br>the following: <br> <br>tables (small) <br>chairs <br>power bars <br>extension cords <br>LAN cables (cat5 RJ-45) <br>hub or switch <br>a running (Linux) system with a burner <br> <br>We would like to have a running system on-hand for anyone interested in going <br>away with their own copy of Linux. This includes CLUGGIX/Knoppix. <br> <br>So we would also like to have either blank CD-R's or copies of whichever <br>distro on hand. Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated. <br> <br>The web site has been updated and the InstallFest page has further information <br>as well. Nexus is also posting this on their website. <br> <br>Come out, it will be fun. And more importantly take the opportunity to <br>purchase a book from Nexus, they are very kind to provide us the space in <br>their store, it's the least we can do. <br> <br>They will most likely have copies of Red Hat, SuSE and Mandrake if you want to <br>get your hands on the boxed set with Manuals. They even had some Linux games <br>for sale last time (Hmm, Quake III). <br> <br>Nexus' address is: <br> <br>311-17 Avenue S.W. <br>Calgary, AB T2S 0A5 <br>(403) 229-2520 <br> <br>Say hello and thanks to whomever is there from Nexus: Connie, Joe, Kevin, <br>Stephen (sp?) or Jean they are super nice folks. <br> <br>There will most likely be coffee and or donuts or donut holes there. If you <br>are so inclined you may bring more for people to enjoy. <br> <br>- -- <br>Jarrod Major <br>GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D <br>Registered Linux User: #224211 <br>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- <br>Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) <br> <br>iQCVAwUBPtzi3gCQFPa+bt49AQJZTQP/fSEmsDzQiLTEtWDZXOk0rSYXg7fxa2ra <br>/frsSz2FhZljmfRWfVjFgaCtkn4pDlS/3wEIl8lgxxTCVDd9KZCcrvJQWiQje0GY <br>dWQzbjeDdHOU8XDZKpnWtS1Qzai5MBSxG6xuDK19cL0IVBOEw+zs/PaFL4yyEGch <br>hsWQiMrIn84= <br>=bJ1t <br>-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- <br> <br> <br>
