[ilug-cal] A. Mani : BF-020205

Palash and I were at the stall for most of the time. Soumyadip, Arijit 
and others arrived later at ~6.45. The coordination was certainly not 
upto the mark... Palash said that SUSE was on the one with the defective 
RAM and FC3 on the other two. The Begali one was ok, but slow. After I 
showed "SUSE' to some, it became 'Debian' with over 16,000 packages and 
finally it was found to be 'FreeDuc' with less RAM difficulties. But 
there were lots of interested people. The blue screen desktop is the 
worst for demonstrating anything to newcomers.

  In the other PC I tried to chainload FC3 first, then passed all the 
usual commands for that particular kernel version. It did not work 
(cause it was Gentoo with some other kernel no.). Anyway, as nobody had 
any CDs apart from FC1...I demonstrated the installation process a few 
times...ignoring the network.

   The Amar PC people maintain the stall as some kind of fish market 
and with poor quality speakers. Which should be some cause for concern.

Best,
