Install Fest recap...

[Joshua Kugler <jk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Robb Cermak, we had our first install fest of the year last night in 
the Wood Center.

There were about  ten or so people who showed up.  We had fun talking about 
Linux and arguing (civilly) about various distributions.  Tried to debug a 
kernel panic on a RH9 install on a P200.  Installed Mandrake 9.1 on a couple 
laptops (how are those installs working?).  And never got network access to 
the outside world: the ports in the conference rooms don't seem to be fully 
functional.

So, all in all, it was a great event.  We know a few more things now, 
logistics-wise, and we know the next event will be even better.

Kudos to Matt Macander and ABR Inc. (I think I got my credits right, please 
correct if not), the LUG now has some nice older P133 and P200 machines for 
use in our thin-client project next semester.

For all those who attended: thanks!  And to Robb Cermak, who organized the 
whole thing: BIG THANKS!  As club president, I love seeing stuff like this 
happen, but I know I can't do it all.  It's great to have those who will step 
up to the plate like this!

Hope to see you at the next one!
