"Do I have to bring my monitor to the Linux InstallFest? 
It's heavy. Can't you supply one?"

Let me get this straight: You're saying that your monitor
is heavy and awkward, but you somehow think mine is 
weightless, or transported to the InstallFest using 
telekinesis?  Also, the X Window System on Linux should 
be configured for your specific monitor/video card 
combination. The best way to ensure this is done 
correctly is for you to bring both pieces. If it isn't 
done correctly, you might burn out your monitor upon 
returning home, if the X server sends signals beyond the 
monitor's design limits (for more than a minute or so).  
Bring your full computer to the InstallFest: system box, 
monitor, keyboard, mouse, all cables including AC power 
cords and power strip, and all hardware documentation. 
Please also bring several floppy disks that we may 
overwrite. Bring your Linux distribution CD-ROM, if you 
have one. You do not need printers, external modems, or 
non-Linux software.

Basically, bringing your own stuff improves your odds of
having what you need when you get there.
