[wplug-announce] General User Meeting on September 8, 2001

[Zach Paine]

Greetings Penguin-Heads,
        This coming Saturday, September 8th, 2001, the Western Pennsylvania 
Linux Users Group will be hosting a installfest for anyone interested.  It 
will be held at Carnegie Mellon University's Newel-Simon Hall Room # 1507.  
The installfest will run from 10am-5pm.

New and experienced users alike are invited to come and enjoy the 
festivities.  Whether it be installing Linux for the first time or setting up 
DRI on your laptop, help will be available.  I encourage you however, to 
email the list ahead of time if you know you are going to need help with a 
specific topic.  This will allow volunteers to prepare.  In addition to your 
computer here is a list of things which are very helpful that you can bring 
to make sure we have a successful installfest:

* Power Strips 
* Cat5 cable
* Power cable
* Hub/switches
* Network Cards
* Distros on cd
* $5 for pizza
* Drink money. They're $1 in the vending machines.

If you are interested in installing linux, you should back up any data that 
you don't want to lose.  This is just a precaution, the process should *not* 
be destructive.  If you want to dual-boot your system (run windows and linux) 
then you need to defragment your hard drive first.
