To assist us in planning installfests, we prefer (but do not require) 
persons who are planning of bringing hardware to pre-register online 
(it's free), so we know how many people and what type on systems to expect.

Preregistration:

If you'd like to get Linux installed on your computer for free, or maybe 
get a problem with your Linux computer solved, the installfest is for 
you. Bring your computer and peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, 
power cables, power strips). Although we may have some extra 
peripherals, they will be limited. Bring blank CDs if you'd like copies 
of the latest distributions (fyi: Red Hat = 3 CDs; Mandrake = 3 CDs). If 
you can't boot your computer from CD, bring a floppy disk or two.

All TriLUG members are encouraged to attend. Experienced users can help 
the newbies, or just hang out. Newbies can soak in the intense Linux and 
open source atmosphere, and learn a lot, too. There will be plenty of 
geekdom for all! Bring a snack to share to make this an "Eat and Geek" 
event; drinks will be provided. (However, please be neat and clean up 
after yourselves!).
