I will do this one. In fact, I created a bunch of notes about the process
this weekend. I was also thinking of adding a kernel patch to the process.

I like this idea also. But do we really need a internet connection for it?
After all, most of us have cd's for multiple distros available.

Another great idea. Personally, I would go for Borders instead of Barnes &
Noble, mostly because they always seem to have a better Linux section.

I think that a & b go hand in hand here. Doing something at one of the
local schools would help build the reputation of the LUG.
