A installfest would only be feasible if there is an adequate demand for people who want Linux on their boxes,but aren't confident enough to do it themselves.Have any people contacted list members with such requests?If so,we can pool these requests to individual members together and hold an installfest,with the added advantage that the newbies will be able to socialize with GLUG members and be reassured about the availability of support. <snip> Regards, Easwar Registered Linux user #442065 -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
