I'd love to help out with installs.. At the conference, or in some organized manner afterwards. Anything I can do to promote GNU/Linux. I'm familiar enough with RH and it's variants to get just about any standard hardware running. Anyone here play with Mandrake? Their new beta installer is way cool... In response to one of Tommie Giles ideas: Have you ever tried PhatLinux or WinLinux2K? They run from a fat partition, and you can config your own hardware and so forth. I have never tried the CD based version of DemoLinux, but I don't know how you would ever get the system configured correctly without saving anything. PhatLinux is particularly cool, simply unzip the download into a directory in your Winblows machine, and point a shortcut to it. No partitioning or boot manager required. Try it at www.phatlinux.com (Warning... 180mb Download) If anyone hears a price for the conference, please post... -- (Insert silly little sig here) Chris Midkiff cmidkiff@kc.rr.com
