Linux InstallFest II

[tomh at nh.ultranet.com (Tom Hallgren)]

I've been lurking the linux newsgroups for sometime and I am greatly
looking forward to getting my feet wet with Linux.  I have read a few books
and a lot of the available information on the Internet, but your
InstallFest II seems like a great opportunity to learn about Linux in a
hands-on environment around experts.  

I am particularly interested in having Linux and Windows 95 coexist
peacefully, and I hear this is a complicated thing to do (I have purchased
System Commander 3.0 and Partition Magic in preparation for this).  The
computer I would like to install Linux on is a Winbook XP5, for which I
found some information on the Linux Laptop Homepage.  Apparently, this
leads to some complications as well.  All these considerations have made me
hesitant to install Linux on my own.

However, I am a full-time student at Phillips Exeter Academy in nearby
Exeter, NH.  I was wondering if I could still get help installing Linux on
my computer if I arrive there late, because my school holds a half-day of
classes on Saturdays, and I might not be able to arrive at your convention
until as late as two o'clock or so, unless I can get permission to miss
classes or convince the computer science class to come along with me.  

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Tom Hallgren

P.S.  If you have any information about your organization or your upcoming
event, I would love to see it and pass it on to the computer science
classes here at PEA.  My address is:
