Well, you all be happy to know that i have talked to lesa at stormix tech
about obtaining some cd and such for our installfest ( don't ask aobut a
place yet, i'm still looking - dartmouth col. would be really nice. ) and
she was going to try to send us about 100 cd's and a boxed copy of thier
distro that just came out. Its valued at $100 so that'll be nice to give
away. I have never tried this distro...from what i read i guess that its
pretty good....
more on the installfest later......
i wish that i had the LUG member locator done. i need joe hill's
e-mail address.:-)
