We will unfortunately not have internet access available as they have strict security in place limiting connections to certain MAC addresses.  We will have plenty of power outlets for a demo machines to be set up.  We were planning on burning copies of Knoppix and SUSE Live evals to hand out at the event.    As far as media contact is concerned, we have just talked with the Sioux City Journal, and they are going to run a story on it.  We also have PSA's playing on the Morningside College radio station, we have the event listed in the weekender, and the XL as well.  We are going to be putting up signs all over Sioux City early next week.  We are also going to contact the other radio stations as well.  A contact list would be very helpful though if you have one for us.   It would be excellent if any LUG members could be there to work a booth.  If not I would be happy to hand out install fest flyers for you.  You can get more info on the event at http://csci2.morningside.edu/~geekstock/.  If you get people to sign up to an a booth we will gladly put up a section talking about the SCLUG being there to promote Linux.   If anyone is interested in some reasonably priced computers we have obtained several older pentiums that we will be selling at the event.  These would work great for a Beowulf (this is what we are using to update our beowulf as well - http://csci2.morningside.edu/~acm/beowulf/).   Thanks again for the help!  I hope to hear back from members interested in attending Geekstock 2004!   Adam Johnson ----- Original Message ----- From: Brion J.
