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/ Please refer to the BLU website (http://www.blu.org) for further information and directions.
