Subject: [Trilug-announce] Installfest TOMORROW! Intro to Linux class info
Date: 28 Feb 2003 11:28:02 -0500

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.
