G4U is very slow at creating an image, but very fast at wtiting that image to other PC's. It only takes me 12 minutes to install RedHat or Mandrake on all the PC's.
If we set up the PC with the CD ROM drive and image it the day before the Installfest (or earlier) then we can have the cluster set up in no time at all.
I think $10.00 is enough for anyone who wants to install Gentoo on their PC. Anyone who wants to donate a machine for the day can do so for free.
There is enough desk space for 9 PC's. 7 people can use the 17" monitors that I have there (the cluster PC's won't need them). There is plenty of space for more PC's but not on a desk.
I have posted a message on the OSTC forums at http://www.ostc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26. If you are interested in attending, then post the specs of your PC there so we have an accurate number of people who want installs. If you are bringing a PC in to add to the cluster but not for an install, post that too.
What was the proposed date?
Later
