I don't know as I'll be there that early, but I do plan to swing in around noon or so (crossing my fingers). I'm trying to call the community center and see if anyone will be there at 10:00. I'll let you know if I get a hold of someone. In talking to the Comm Center people the other day, they gave us the ok to put our stuff in the little kitchen / bar area up front. I did just finally get all 3 discs for Red Hat 7.3 downloaded. I know I can get at least one set done for install purposes. I was curious if Brion would let us throw up the ISO's on the website? I know the mirror sites have just been cramed full.
Do we have anyone bringing spare monitors????
