Cost: Free, but we do ask for a voluntary donation of $25 to help support 
the user group.
What you need to bring:
1. Your computer and monitor. 
2. The Linux distribution you plan to install. We normally have copies of 
Red Hat, SuSE, and Mandrake available for installation.
3. A power strip. The room has limited outlets. 

Our volunteers will help you to install Linux on your own system.  While 
Linux runs on most systems, some systems do have configurations and 
hardware that may not be supported. Please consult the following web pages 
for hardware compatibility.
