===============
If you know the room that will be used, it would be nice to have directions 
to it, as there are lots of "rooms" at Wake Tech.

I have a few questions:
   1. I've recently purchased SUSE 9.0 Enterprise software for my desktop.  
Are we going to offer SUSE expert installers at this installfest?? 
   2. My second question is this: Is it going to be possible to have two 
systems installed for one person? I've got a Mandrake system that needs to be 
updated as well.
   3. I have another Linux convert, but he has a problem making any Saturday 
meeting because he has a small business at the fairgrounds.  He makes custom 
guitars, and mandolas at a small business which is now being run by software 
from the "Evil Empire".  Since he can't make the Saturday date, he wants to 
know whether there is someone who could come to his shop in Cary and install 
him a Linux system on a Dell computer.  He has two hard drives so it 
shouldn't be difficult to let him keep what he has (Windows XP)  to run his 
accounting software until he can move over to something else in Linux which 
could go on the second drive.  He's willing to pay!!  I just don't feel 
qualified to attempt to do what he needs. --- Al Johnson.
