To all that helped at the installfest,
I just want to say that in between serving punters with disks and getting
them tables and an installer to help them my observations were all very
possitive on Saturday . The installers did a brilliant job! The burners
also were also rushed off of their feet, and rose to the occation! And we
all got through a public onslaught with no bad incidents. Every one showed a
professional attitude. And worked very well under presure. Well done to
all. I was very proud to be a member of our LUG!
Granted we can learn by this our first installfest. And the odd person went
home with out linux on their machine. But we tried to get it on everyones
machine. I spoke to one old Gent that we couldnt get linux on his boxem. He
was smiling ear to ear because the installer gave him his best shot., and
spent alot of time with him. Giving him advise on how to get his boxem up to
scratch and explaining things about linux, a phenominal operating system.
Infact I didnt see anyone leave with any sign of dissapointment on their
faces. WELL DONE ALL, and we can do this even better next time. (after a
well earned rest)
cheers,
Nick Elder
P.S It was quite a site being able to look around the room and be able to see
nearly every machine flashing away installing LINUX!
