I have a suggestion which can be of great use to someone who
purchases a Knoppix disk from us. I have given several of these
disks to
hams and have discovered that some PC's just don't have enough
horsepower to run Knoppix on the machines they presently own.
Therefore I suggest that someone figure out the minimum processor and
memory necessary to have Knoppix sucessufully run on their computer,
and if someone doesn't have enough horsepower we should have one of
the other distributions which don't require as much power, there's
one I'm thinking of whose name begins with the word "damn". In other
words we have distributions which can run on obsolete hardware and
this should be very popular with those in that situation. P.S. There
is a very interesting article in this month's QST magazine which is
available at some of the local bookstores which discusses what
amateur radio operators are doing with WiFi frequencies in the
Shenandoah Vallev in Virginia which some of you might be interested
in.--

Here's an idea, although I don't know how feasible it is. What about
holding a future installfest at one of the local hamfests or even at
the big Shelby, NC hamfest? That way, we would have a captive
audience and a good chance to show what Linux can do for the ham user
and the non-ham alike.
1. Not nearly enough space at the kind of booth we'd have at a
hamfest.
2. A 3 hour drive to the Shelby hamfest is way too far away.
But, selling people Knoppix discs at a hamfest is a good way to
let people experiment with linux.
