Boston Linux and Unix InstallFest XXX reminder tomorrow August 23, 2008



 Boston Linux Installfest XXX 
When:  Saturday,  August 23, 2008 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm 
Where: MIT Building E-51, Room 061 
        2 Amherst St, Cambridge 
        Plenty of parking in front of the building 
        

What you need to bring: Your computer, monitor, power strips and your 
Linux distributions. We do have copies of some distributions. 
In general we have expertise with most distros, but if you need special 
expertise, please email the BLU discussion list in advance. 

COST: It's free! However, we DO have expenses, and contributions are 
welcome. Please consider contributing $25 per machine. 

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. While we prefer you to bring your own 
distros, our volunteers will normally have 

  Linux.ORG: http://www.linux.org/hardware/index.html
  Hardware HOWTO: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html
  Linux Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.linuxdoc.org/

Generally our volunteers have sets of the latest Fedora, SuSE and 
Ubuntu distributions: 
    * Fedora - http://fedora.redhat.com (Fedora 9) 
    * Open SuSE - http://opensuse.org (OpenSuSE 11.0) 
    * Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com  (Hardy Herron 8.04) 
    * Debian - http://www.debian.org/
We will also be installing VirtualBox on some systems. 


Please refer to the BLU website (http://www.blu.org) for further 
information and directions. Parking is available in front of the 
building on Amherst St. Enter the building, and take the elevator to 
your left down 1 floor. Room 061 is opposite the elevator.
