You always give me far too much credit. Anyway, I haven't been out of
bed much today, and won't be going to the NYLUG event tomorrow night
either. I hope you all have a good time today though. I (obviously)
strongly disagree with those who've been saying for the last 7 years or
so that Installfests are obsolete. I think the Installfest is one of
the more "fun" things a user group does, and continues to help new
users, who are very much still having trouble running Linux-based
systems on Windows-oriented hardware.
Oh, BTW, DebConf10 is coming to Columbia next year. I know how you feel
about Debian, but this was a big win for New York City, and probably
NYLXS/NYLUG/et al. need to get involved at some level. Oh and the
organizing meetings are held in Brooklyn. ;)
