I will (finally) have new turbolinux cd's to bring - as many as people
want pretty much, and b/c I'm TurboLinux support, I can pretty easily take
responsibility for anyone who has problems with turbo - even if that just
means taking the blame..
for other distros - if they can't get free copies, or enough for the
installfest, for the group, we could always make a group purchase from
cheapbytes, sell em for $5 or so, and generate a little bit of revenue for
the group - satlug does this at the computer shows here in san antonio and
it goes pretty well..
of course, I'm also more than glad to help out w/ other distros at the
installfest - linux is linux for the most part - but I can make an extra
effort for anyone who wants to try (or is already using) turbolinux..
omar - if you're listening, I also will have some copies of workstation
3.6 for siglinux as soon as my new stock comes in..
later all
