Hi, just wanted to throw this out to the kclug group and tell me what 
you think.

I also help out Paul and Robert at www.KCLinux.com and we were talking 
about perhaps getting in touch with the people at Linuxfest and make 
up a "Installfest" and help new users get their systems configured and 
loaded with Linux. (Might have to narrow down the distrbution choices 
to one or 2 so we all know how to load them well and get the systems 
up and running as quickly as possible.) Is anyone from KCLug 
interested in helping out in this? Also, if the people making the 
plunge have friends that are curious, we might burn some copies of 
DemoLinux at www.demolinux.org and pass them out, too- but that's just 
an idea I'm throwing out on the table, too, to guage interest.
If you're not good with Linux, then fine! We can use organizers, 
people to cut demo cd's ( we will have to, of course, send a copy of 
the distrib home with them, so it might be cheaper to get a 50 pack 
and burn some copies... Gawd, I love the GPL!) and just gophers and 
support. This would be a great way to get the word out in the 
community about Linux and  getting people to try it out. I imagine we 
would be targeting the home user and small business user with this 
installfest.
I have to stress, this is just a guage of interest and we have not 
contacted Linuxfest.net about it, just a test of interest from you all 
to see if you would like to join us in it.

On a side note, kclinux.com just became a linux.com partner and 
they're rotating our button a few times an hour. Stop by www.linux.com 
and the buttons are on the lower left side. Keep hitting refresh for 
an hour or two and you'll see them! :) Thanks again to Robert for 
coming through with the buttons and the great design!

Have a great new year and let me know what you think about Linuxfest!
