They are always a lot of fun for me, although also a bit chaotic as well. The young man that helped you out is Maurice. He is, and will continue to be, a great asset to the SIG. His knowledge of Linux is astounding for a man of his so few years. I too would like to thank him. Joe, Will, Jean, Larry, Don, and everyone else that helped with the InstallFest because I am sure that I have overlooked someone, but rest assured it was not intentional. To say that the event was a success would be quite an understatement I think. I don't know how many installations we did last nite but it must have been at least 10. I think in the next workshop we are going to start off with a look at why Linux is not Windows, thanks to an article that Tommy Minton gave me. Then we will look at the multitude of features and capabilities of Xandros File Manager, the hallmark Xandros application and one of the things that set it apart from the other Linux distributions. If we have time, we may also do a brief overview of how to install software with a more indepth workshop on that in the near future. Our path forward is to have an InstallFest probably 3 times each year and then following each one we will "recycle" the workshops starting with the most fundamental things like using the file manager, software management, customizing the desktop, the Linux file system, etc and then moving on the how the use the myriad of Linux programs. I am excited with the progress that the SIG has made so far and am looking forward to great things in 2007. We have some really exciting plans for the future.
