i8 linux installation-fest + We need more peeps on this forum

[Skunk]

Point 1: Wouldn't it be cool if the i8 LAN party (http://www.multiplay.co.uk/i-series/) in August had a load of experienced linux dudes offering to install Linux on people's machines (dual booting with windows) for free - like a Linux Users Group but at a LAN party. There's gonna be 840 PCs there ;)

Point 2: There aren't enough people on this forum yet. We need to recruit more geeks dammit!

Could do the whole i8 thing, not sure if I will have the cash tho, when do specator signup's close skunkyboy?

[Godin]

If I could afford i8 I'd do i8 (heres hoping I can get some summer work ;) )

Shame cos I dont mind linux installin ;)

[aef]

Mmm... plenty of cash, no time :-/

Also, moving my desktop machine is a non-trivial logistical operation.

Have modified siggy to combat the "not enough peeps" problem, as to i8 I'm litterally no use to you as I have little linux expierience don't drive and live very far away :cry:

in response to Skunk's demand for more peeps over here. I branched out into this forum now. With me i bring useless knowledge and complete lack of understanding of all things linux and open source. Anyones better than no one though i guess ?

*wibble*

Good idea Piglet - everyone here should add suitable pimpage to the Linux forum in their siggy ------->

Thx, there is also a Tux smiley in the pipeline. (tux is the linux penguin for people who don't know)

Although I'm not sure if it will go up as it's very hard to get a good Tux picture in such a small amount of pixels :(

It would be nifty if we could have imange code turned on so I can post up Tux to see what peeps think if I should send it to velvet or not, is that within your power? ;)

Nah, nevermind, it looks crap really and would'nt be worthy of a smiley, there's just not enough pixels in this world!! :laugh:
