Hi everyone.... Maybe I've missed something or am just plain dim (probably the latter) .....
The install day, what is supposed to happen, is it an exibition type venue where "the masses" are shown what linux can be installed on, how easy it is, setting up mail/web/news/samba and all that ? If this is the case I've got one of those monster hot swap, redundant everything IBM 4500's we can build and setup for an example of a Linux server in an enterprise environment.... I may also be able to get my hands on a Compaq DL380 with usual redunant stuff, plus a Compaq Remote Lights Out Card, which is quite funky in itself if you're interested in Out Of Band management...
Or is it just a frenzy of installations without too much emphasis on anything in particluar ?

Well, I'm hoping for more infos and demos than just straight installations. It would be very cool to see interesting kit, if you are able to bring it to one or the other. I suspect we'll have more trouble getting demo kit to Syleham.
About these install days: who is putting leaflets where? Some suggest places to put them: - Libraries (OK if you make clear it's a volunteer group) - Computer shops (poster would be better) - Colleges, Universities Where else?
Who's contacting local media? Shall I put together a faxbomb? Anyone got bright ideas on the wording?
