We'll be comparing and contrasting the various Linux distributions that are out there, and installing a few! Up for installation in some form will be Fedora 13, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and possibly a few others. We meet in the basement, ask the staff where to find us if you can't find us.

    Was a good place to meet. Lots and lots of information available. I was going for Ubuntu but am now thinking about Fedora after the meeting. Hope we will meet again.

    Hey, I just wanted to warn you guys that Lucid Lynx has been problems with some chipsets. I had to do some post-installation fiddling just to get it running.
