The South Coast Linux Users' Group is running a Debian-specific installfest this weekend -- all weekend. We've got 60 super-eager Uni kids who want their home machines to look and act just like the Uni lab machines (which all run Debian Sarge, w00t!).
So, we're running four 3 hour sessions (10-1, 1:30-4:30, both days) to run them through a Sarge install and then stick all of the packages that you'd use at Uni on as well. We've got a couple of people who've volunteered to come and help out at one or more of the sessions, but more helpers are always appreciated. This will allow us to get through the installs faster and smoother, and really get the participants fired up about this Linux stuff. Free lunch (pizza) will be provided by the Uni, and we're doing a dinner Saturday night for those who want to hang around. I've got floor space for anyone who wants to crash down here over night, and the trains down here are running as well as they ever are (cough). Take the train to North Wollongong station and follow the map at the station, or call me on 0421 257 433 in the morning (before 10am when we'll all be busy installing Linux) and we'll send someone to the station to pick you up. - Matt -- "I'm tempted to try Gentoo, but then I learned that its installer is in Python, and, well, a base Python install on my system is something like fifty megabytes (for what? oh, right, we NEED four XML libraries, I forgot)." -- Dave Brown, ASR
