(This is called an "Installfest"; see below for details!) *presentation* - at 1pm two short demos showing how you can use: - the OpenOffice application suite - the Wine implementation of the Windows API that lets Windows applications run under Linux The installfest is an optional part of this event. Take advantage of the opportunity if you wish, or just come to watch, and discuss any topics about Linux you like among knowledgeable and like-minded users. If you want to install Linux on your computer: The Installfest volunteers will be happy to help you install Linux, either as a secondary boot option, or as your main operating system. Ubuntu CD-ROMs will be available at cost ($2/cd), or you can bring your own. (If you wish to burn your own, the iso image files to be burned are found at http://www.ubuntu.com. They only ask that you follow these rules beforehand: Please be aware that you will be installing Linux. The Installfest volunteers are there to advise and help troubleshoot; they're not there to do the installation for you. Make sure your computer's CD-ROM drive is working. Back up any crucial data from your hard drive. You might accidentally damage your hard drive carrying the computer or installing Linux, and we don't want you to lose any data. Go to lula.org/mailman/listinfo and follow the instructions to join the LULA mailing list. The mailing list is how you can get help with Linux after the Installfest is over (or before it begins). Let us know you're coming! Send email to the LULA mailing list with the following information: your name what kind of computer you have, and what operating system it's running (e.g. "A Toshiba Satellite laptop model 2805 running Windows XP") what you want to do (e.g. "add Linux as a second operating system") Bring your system unit, keyboard, and mouse. (There will be monitors at the Installfest site, and not much room for monitors brought from home.) So please don't bring your monitor. Arrive at the Installfest between 10:30am and 11am. Installation can take some time; arriving after 11am might not give enough time for you to finish the installation and get everything working. The room is on the second floor. Use the elevator inside the building or plan on carrying your computer up a flight of stairs.
