Install Fest schedule- moving right along
The Install Fest scheduled for this Saturday Feb 05, 2005 is coming together well. The USGS has not only generously offered use of their space, but has also offered to have demo machines with several different popular distributions running to give users a chance to figure out which they like and have that one installed on their computer.
A “simple” demo of the K12LTSP distro will also be set up showing the power of running Linux from a Terminal Server/thin client. Anyone who might be joining us from the public schools should be very interested in seeing this distribution in action.
There is at least one scheduled talk by Brock: Linux, kernel to desktop.
I can help demo the K12LTSP distro by pulling the side panel from the worstation computer- or at the very least the network cable- and showing the workstation machine boot directly to the desktop without a hard drive.
Other proposed talks include security basics, internet and web(apache?) basics- as requested and expertise is available.
Flyers have been distributed to local computer stores, NAU, some of the local public schools, within the Coconino County IT department and at a few different work places around town.
REMINDER: If you have recommended this InstallFest to people you know who will want to dual boot Windows and Linux, hard drives must be defragmented using the option to move all data to the beginning of the drive so the drive can be partitioned properly (or they should bring in a machine with an available empty hard drive, have already partitioned etc). Machines need to be defragmented before arriving at the Install Fest.
If you still need the flyer that Deborah created grab it from http://www.flaglug.org/Linux_InstallFest2005.pdf
