YABOQs

Posted by justin++ on from the yet-another-batch-o-quickies dept.

It's that time again :) Saturday (not Friday - I didn't realize it was Thursday until awhile after I posted this..), the DC Linux Users group will be having an Installfest in Bethesda, Maryland. I'll be there (NOTE: I am NOT CmdrTaco), and so will half a dozen Red Hat guys. Feel free to drop by. You can get the skinny here. We are notorious for our fests. Secondly, Cowdog wrote in with a link to some cool Tux reversions. Yo quiero ese Tux! But, Tux does not stop there: according to DrMalte, his brother found some Tux-shaped shampoo bottles. Finally, phargrov writes "'Itsy' project leader Bill Hamburgen of Compaq Computer Corporation Western Research Laboratory (formerly DEC WRL) will speak about Itsy at Stanford University on Wednesday the 24th. Details available on the EE380 class page. "

    I wonder what percentage of slashdot users live far enough away from Bethesda not to give a rats ass that there is an install fest.

    This really is quite meaningless to most slashdot readers

    Well I guess "Tux Shampoo" is better than "Tux Medicated Pads".

  9. InstallFest Question by Xunker · · Score: 1

    Never been to an install fest, but would like to. My question is one of what platforms are usually represented? Intel, obviously, and probably Alpha, but what about PowerPC?

    I ask because I have a Mac Powerbook 1400 and would like to wedge mkLinux on to is (I've been told its been done), but my expertise is really in Intel Linii, and could use some help-- How likely would I be to find a PPC Linux / mkLinux guru there? Thanks.

    I live near DC and I know people from at far south as north carolina that would drive up for it and prolly as far north as most of new york. Should be a packed place

    I live about 10 minutes from where DCLUG does the installfests and if the guys from RedHat can drive up from North Carolina to attend, then surely some of you sorry bastards could get there too.

    These quickies are coming up so often, I think it's time Rob & co.
    designated a separate topic/logo combintion just for quickies. The first
    thing that comes to mind would be two people having sex... but maybe a
    clock or something would best exemplify a "quickie" in a socially acceptable
    manner.
