Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt. Petone is about 5 minutes drive. Makes a refreshing 
change.

(Oh, and i'm a sucker for punishment: work is in Porirua.)

Yes. But Mainly in the OS-agnostic side of things.  Not a lot of Linux 
Expertise. (Maybe a 3 out of 5.)

I still don't have a Linux dedicated desktop box at home.  I _might_ be 
able to sort a set of hardware out to bring to Installfest with me, 
however, i'm currently short in the area of working CDROM drives. =)


But yeah, I should be able to be there for the whole day, or at least a 
good portion of it - unless work send me out of the City (or country).  I 
can flex travel to a point, so fairly comfortable at this stage.

I also know at least one of my colleagues is interested, going to send the 
PDF to work and circulate it.

Mark.
