Re: [Staffslug] web site / Install fest?

Install fests can be whatever you want, straight forward installs of Ubuntu
etc (Which TBH in this day and age can be pretty boring, installation is
child's play) or as some Lug's do a "Bring your pain in the butt machine
and
the group will help install and get it running"
Diversity of OS's is the key 10-12 people watching 10-12 Ubunutu installs is
pretty boring setting up say a Free Nas would get the Geek in you salivating.
I got the impression that FreeNAS is also dead easy to install these
days, but I agree that a diversity of OS's is a good idea. If we have
a few boxes with ISO images & working CD burners, then we don't have
to have millions of CDs, we can burn extras as we need them.
I'd also suggest having some copies of OpenDisc [1] for people to
take, so that they can install open source software on any Windows
boxes they've got at home.
