I can supply a 16 port 10/100 hub and some patch cables, also I have some bandwidth to burn here at work, so I could download a few iso's and burn them to CD (any requests?). What I lack is hard drive space but I plan to remedy that soon with a new 40 gig hard disk. So depending on when we do this I may be able to set up a FTP server as well. I wouldn't mind helping ppl with installs either but only if it is Debian (just kidding).

I see NZLUG are having an installfest on 30 March. I am vaguely wondering whether we should have one sometime.?? I am thinking: 1. one or two grunty ftp servers to let people without cdroms install. Put maybe 3 or 4 distros on the ftp servers then let people plug into a lan and go for it. 2. someone writing cdroms for people to take away, or install on the spot. 3. a group of people running around helping with problems. Requirements? 1. a couple of big (16 port?) hubs with plenty of patch cords. 2. a machine with enough grunt and disk space to ftp up 3 or 4 different distros 3. another machine to write cdroms. 4. internet connection for trouble shooting, getting updates, testing etc (plus firewall of course) 5. some prewritten boot disks for ftp installs. 6. lotsa bench space. 7. the bods to run it -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.rout.co.nz
