The price is $19.98 per, the same as the Intel version. We changed the pricing with 4.1, so that all three versions list at $49.95. Lisa ************************************************************************ John and Guy; I ordered two sparc versions, if you want to contribute $30.00 each to BLU and pay $20.00 to Red Hat then they're yours. Don't forget the donation you can write off for taxes next year. :) If you want them I'll call when I get them, else we could advertise them with the install fest and get a few spacer's. I also think she made a typo with $19.98 because we were charged $25.00 for the last set of intel's, I'll follow up on that one. *********************************************************************** April Install Fest; Howard Johnson's has two small rooms available for April 19th. The outline for the Install is something like this... Room 1 - 8:30 till 12:30 - Install fest synopsis - get linux installed Room 1 - 1:00 till 5:00 - Linux basics synopsis - get printers and modems recognized, review linux basics Room 2 - 8:00 till 5:00 - Networking with linux synopsis - review networking, install cards, setup a network. BLU's Cost: ~$250, possibly less Install Fest Fee: $75 both sessions Networking Fee: not decided Rationale: New users will get linux on thier machines and go home with working printers and modems. The past install graduates will learn how to setup networks which has been thier request. Volunteers: Networking: Rodney has volunteered to do networking and the 19th fits in with his schedule. Refer to him if you'd like to work on the network team. Install fest: none as yet. Comments: 1. We'll be discussing this at the next meeting, but if there are any questions please let me know now. I'll try my best to work with everyone's schedule as best I can. 2. Is there any opionions about purchasing some O'Reily books for the install fest? We sent people away last fest with without resources and it didn't seem right to me. 3. If everyone is agreeable to April 19th, I'd like to ask John and Guy to put something up on BLU's web page. mark j. soule
