I am also somewhat interested. I have been following the discussion for the past few days and was under the impression that it was already overbooked. It would depend on the date though. This weekend and next weekend are out for me. The next Saturday (24 April) is good, and the following Saturday (1 May) is ok during the day but out in the evening.
My setup: Athlon 2600XP on Nforce 2 motherboard (Abit NF7S) with onboard LAN (I have a spare nic I can put in during install - I think it needs seperate drivers for the onboard eth.) ATI 9600pro video card 1GB ram I currently have 1 x 120GB hdd and 1 x 20GB hdd. The 120GB hdd has windows XP with a bunch of shared partitions for photos, music etc and the 20Gb hdd is running debian unstable, but hasn't been updated for some time. Also CDRW and DVD drive and kodak dx4900 digital camera and a card reader What I want to do: Get a new hdd to install Gentoo on to replace the debian hdd as it is getting noisy and I have had problems with it at times. I would like to transfer my mail etc. across from the debian installation, and have sound, DVD, CD burning, camera, card reader, etc. working. I currently have the digital camera working and DVD psuedo working (crashes and dies regularly), but the other things I haven't really bothered with. Must have Apps: Gnome Evolution GIMP GNUcash GQview (or equivalent) Gtkam/gphoto2 (digital camera) dvd player - currently using xine, but not very happy with it Browser (would prefer opera, but not too biased) hardware 3D acceleration - need to download the latest fglrx drivers from ATI for the version of X Gentoo uses The problem that I have is that I now only have dialup at home, so I won't really be able to update regularly, so I would like it to be quite stable. Linux experience/skills: Reasonable, can figure out most things Cheers Luuk Quoting Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > OK make it four plus Chris S > > Have we chosen a date or as that left in my hands? > > > On Thu, 01 Apr 2004 09:48:04 +1200 > "Fisher, Robert (FXNZ CHC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I got the impression that after Roger read some of the installation > manual, > > he was still keen for Gentoo. > > > > Roger? > > > > Regards, Robert > > Some days you are the pigeon, some days you are the statue. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, 1 April 2004 9:45 a.m. > > To: CLUG > > Subject: Gentoo Installfest > > > > OK it looks like we really only have three takers for this, assuming > > Roger Searle's network card is fixed independently of a whole new > > install. > > > > The installees are Rik Tindall, Chris Darby and Don Gould.
