Most LUGs have monthly or semimonthly events. We're already pushing the envelope (IMO) doing weekly clinics plus irregular presentations. I think we average about 0.2 installs per clinic, so the events can't get much smaller... (-: > I also think the Eugene Weekly is a great place to get > attention for a gig like that. I agree.

TripWire is cool..... I'd be happy to burn some KNOPPIX or Mandrake discs for you to take along, and so would other EUGLUGsters, I bet. By late August, KNOPPIX should be back to weekly releases, though, so I don't want to start burning too soon.

But you're right, we need to have the next step ready.
