We had about 8 or 9 people installing on their systems. Most were successful to some extent. We have 1 installfest regular who just bought a Vaio and installed Ubuntu himself. We then helped him install VirtualBox OSE and a paid for copy of Windows XP. Unfortunately, we could not get sound working on his Vaio. Several others installed VMWare of VirtualBox. David worked with a group of 3 guys from the same company who needed virtualization for different reasons. They were all successful. What 1 guy wanted to do was to create a paired down SuSE release on a memory stick. The only guy we couldn't do anything for was the guy who showed up at 4:30. The important thing is to get some volunteers who know what they are doing, and we have been pretty successful there. The total revenue was $185. We ask for $25, most people happily give us $25 without asking.
