LUG Manipal Pre-Install Fest
January 24th, 2008As I mentioned in the last post, we people have planned to organize Install Fest for LUG Manipal on 23rd and 24th Jan. This time we didnt expect such a huge turnout! More than 50 people attended the meet from first and second year. We collected 39 DVD’s with Name and Registration nos written on them. The distro written on them will be 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora 8. People can choose to install Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon also, but its not recommended for first years as the ATI Graphics Card given with their laptops behaves wildly and crashes the Xserver. Bringing it up is a painstaking work as viewed from the eyes of a newbie.
Today we would be installing more than 40 copies of Linux, the booking of the lecture hall is till 8:30PM! 5:30PM to 8:30PM…3 hours tight schedule. Just installing is not the work we are doing, guiding is also one of the aspects of LUG’s charter. One of my friend at Mumbai recommended me to make a charter or policies of the LUG, so that furture members or organizers dont have to start from scratch. We took some snaps too. Have a look. Here is the Picasa Web Album for it.
