Our next installfest is planned to be on Saturday, June 6
<http://www.wplug.org/wiki/UpcomingMeetings>.

The location is uncertain at this time; we are working to get
network access installed at the Wilkins School and plan to have
the installfest there if this will be ready.  Otherwise, we may
try the Brookline library again (worked out nicely in February) or
come up with some other site.

Don't feel you have to wait until then to give it a try, however!
On most machines, Ubuntu (and most other varieties of Linux) will
install rather simply.  If you are running Windows, the easiest
approach to trying out Ubuntu is Wubi <http://wubi-installer.org/>.
