[wellylug] Installfest '05

[Eugene Van Wyk]

Hi Brent

I can not be there that day, but I have seven sets of Ubuntu 5.04
(32bit) looking for a good home.  
Unfortunately, all the 64 bit versions have found homes already.  If you
think there will be interest, we can make a plan for these to get to
you.

We tossed around distros, & didn't want to confuse punters with too many
choices, so we loooked at Mandriva/SuSE/Debian, with some LiveCD's as
well.
Trying to target distros which are suitable for first time users. If you
want
to give a presentation on Mepis/Gentoo that should be fine. Jamie B was
gonna
coordinate these (you there Jamie?). If you are happy installing Gentoo,
that's
fine.

Please bear in mind that offering to install also implies you are
offering some
level of post install support, at least via the LUG list, if the user
needs a
hand.

Thanks,

   Brent
