I wouldn't say that we weren't a factor.  Kevin Otte was the one who
brought the DHCP/DNS/local mirror server.  A big thanks goes to Kevin
for doing that: without it, we would have been sunk.  I was there as
well from 10:00 to nearly 2:00, and brought some donuts, muffins and
bagels for munching and the juice and cups for drinking.

I was able to help someone with a messed up Grub install, as well as
start a Mandrake 10.1 official installation.

LUG at NCSU does this regularly, so we should be better organized for the next one.

I'd like to point out that Jason's original announcement said that
it'd be good if people could bring monitors, especially flat panels.

By the way, did anyone pick up the 1Ghz Slot A Athlon that James
brought?  I snagged it, but I left it behind inadvertently.
