Hi Gerard. I think it would be a great idea. I also think, that the people at vfxweb will also be very intrested ... And yes , we have had installation/presentations at installfests, and i see no problem having a cluster of people hovering around one particular installation, with one installer explaining the detail more loudly then he/she would normally do for someone sitting in the next chair. And yes, i would surely be listening, and even hovering around, to get the glimpse of one of the most reveling Linux distros being installed as it should. Needless to say, I will be their :-) Cheers Szemir
