I agree. I think having the two events coordinated/organized together
is the best thing to do as people who see Linux in action at Demo Day
can have it installed on Linux Day.

This sounds good to me.

Sounds good too. I'll email people offline to figure out the logistics
of it.

I'm assuming from what you're saying that we should do linux demo/install
in the same week? I'm of the opinion that we keep demo day 11-16th and
keep 20-26 as a week for LUGs to do installfests. This will a) Give
LUGs time to prepare and b) allow people who learn about Linux at the demo
to go do some more research and make sure they are ready to have it
installed. We don't want people rashilly(sp??) jumping into Linux without
having thought through it first.

I think it'd be too long of a wait. By then we should be planning
Linux Day 2000 :)
