As many of you know, we had our installfest today, and I think it was a great success! We had a nice sized turnout, I would say it was pretty good for a rainy day in August. People came down to lend a helping hand, do some installs, check out this whole linux thing, and try linux out for the first time. I would like to thank my counterpart Graham for making is all happen, and Szemir for all the work he put into this event, as well as vfxweb for allowing us to hold this event in their store, as well as being so helpful. I would also like to thank everyone else who came down. There were a number of people who were very helpful to myself and other people doing installs. I hope to see the rest of you losers who didn't show up at the next installfest ;-).

I have to second that. The installfest was quite a success due in large part to the efforts of all the participants who were invariably helpful to one another. Several assisted me in particular with my upgrade on my Panasonic cf-71 toughbook in upgrading Suse 8.2 to 9.1. The upgrade went well and I learned quite a bit during the process. Thanx to Graham for the extra efforts in loading "SuperKaramba" on my machine after the upgrade. We ran out of time to complete the job, but it's mostly done and I'm sure I'll be able to finish it soon.
One new tier 2 membership (welcome to the group, Brad!!)was purchased and several new tier 1's that had noticed the poster up at Nexxus were also in attendance.
Szemir had his Master Burner slicing and dicing CD's full tilt to the benefit of all. It's an amazing process when you watch it in action. Three burners all working at the same time, burning distro's!!! I would suggest the club actually think about purchasing one of these with a scsi hard drive and four burners for just this purpose. Something to think about, because we can then pass around knoppix CD's as give aways to promote linux, and distro copies to members as they need it, for the price of blank cd-r's.
Thanx again to VFXWEB and to Nexxus. That was fun! Let's do it again.
