A few comments: 1. This page is the first to come up on a google search of "installation party howto". Congratulations! However, this means that a lot of people will get to read it, and right now the page doesn't identify itself very well. It needs an introductory paragraph saying that it is about organizing an installation event for Linux (currently the word Linux makes its first appearance in the fourth paragraph), that it is based on experience from a number of such events organized by Haifux, and that while it is geared for events in Israel, most of the information is not specific to the country so it should be helpful to a worldwide audience. 2. The term "computer farm" for a place that hosts public-access computers is an Israeli invention, a translation of "havat mahshevim". In the English-speaking world the term has a different meaning: a computer cluster used for intensive computing. The kind of facility the howto refers to is normally called a computer *lab* in English. Replace the "farms" in the document with "labs" in order to avoid confusing our international readers. 3. The link at the bottom to "Installfest tips" is broken. -Ron. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
