From: "Mark Drummond" <drummond-m@rmc.ca> Subject: LOCAL: 1st Annual Kingston Linux Installfest - Sat, Jun 5th Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 22:02:56 GMT =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== The Kingston (Ontario, CANADA) Linux Users Group (KLUG) is going to be running Kingston's first Linux Installfest on Saturday, June 5th, 1999. The event in being hosted by Comtech Services of 720 Progress Avenue at thier location. Doors will open at 10:00AM. Members of the KLUG will be on hand to install the Linux Operating System on your Personal Computers free-of-charge. If you would like to have Linux installed but you don't want to try the installation yourself, this is your chance to have it installed by experienced Linux users. We will be installing the Linux-Mandrake 5.3 distribution which combines the ease of use, installation and management of RedHat Linux 5.2 with the powerful and intuitive K Desktop Environment. You will be required to register in advance by contacting myself by email or by phone at (613) 384-4068 (after 6:00PM) or if you are in the Brockville area, contact Doug Mitton at (613) 354-3716 (again evenings only) or by email at dmitton@cybertap.com. During the registration we will be asking you for information about your PC Hardware so we know what to expect. It is strongly suggested that you bring in your _complete_ system. Though ComTech will have extra parts (monitors, keyboards, etc) available, it is much easier for us to give you a fully functional system if you bring in your entire system (CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, external peripherals). The more of your system that you bring in, the more likely everything will work correctly when you get home. Each complete installation can take some time (~3hrs including pre-processing, installation of the OS, configuration, installation of extra applications, verification, etc) so please be prepared to stick around. There will be members available to demonstrate various Linux concepts and to tutor you on the basics while you wait. You will also be required to sign a waiver before we begin installation. All the KLUG members who will be performing the installations are very experienced Linux users and we do not expect to run into any problems but they are all volunteers and as such they cannot be held accountable if something does go wrong. For more information about the KLUG, please visit our website's temporary location at http://signals.rmc.ca/klug/. The site will be moved to www.klug.on.ca in the near future. -- _________________________________________________________________ Mark E Drummond Royal Military College of Canada drummond-m@rmc.ca Computing Services Linux Uber Alles perl || die ...there are two types of command interfaces in the world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces. - Dan Bernstein, Author of qmail -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
