The installfest is THIS Saturday (tomorrow!) - March 1, 2003, at Durham Tech Community College [1], Phillips Building room 308, starting around 10:30 am. Setup will begin at 9 am.
If you'd like to get Linux installed on your computer for free or get help on your current Linux computer, the installfest is for you. Bring your computer and peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, power cables, power strips). Although we may have some extra peripherals, they will be limited. Bring blank CDs if you'd like copies of the latest distributions (fyi: Red Hat = 3 CDs; Mandrake = 3 CDs). If you can't boot your computer from CD, bring a floppy disk or two. To assist us in planning installfests, we prefer (but do not require) persons who are planning on bringing hardware to register online [2] (it's free). That way we can know how many people and what type of systems to expect. All TriLUG members are encouraged to attend. Experienced users can help the newbies, or just hang out. Newbies can soak in the intense Linux and open source atmosphere, and learn a lot, too. There will be plenty of geekdom for all! Bring a snack to share to make this an "Eat and Geek" event; drinks will be provided. (However, please be neat and clean up after yourselves!). Several of you have requested an Introductory type class/talk for Linux. Leah Cunningham, a volunteer from the NC State LUG, will be giving an Intro to Linux talk during our March meeting. So everyone who comes to the installfest, bring your questions to the meeting March 13th at 7:00 pm.
