Good Afternoon.

I would be happy to help with the install fest but I have the disadvantages of 
being both not-quite competent and I'm currently seeking some employment so 
if an employer offering work wants me to be somewhere else on the day my 
commitment is likely to go in that direction.

What sort of help is wanted? I could prolly help some people though providing 
complete answers I cannot. 

Also... I thought I would just chuck in the idea of ipod and xbox linux. I'm 
newish to the group so I dont know if this is something thats been discussed 
before but there maybe members of the public who would like to get their xbox 
softmodded to use xebian or something, people are now getting the new 360's 
so they may be interested in doing somethign a bit querky with their old 
hardware. I figured this is also probably a part of the public that is fairly 
unaware of linux. Might be stupid idea but i thought i'd share it none the 
less.

Cheers,
Ben.
