<br>
However, we do meet every Sunday near I-285 and Powers Ferry Road and<br>
happily help people install Linux there.<br>
<br>
a) If someone else would like to take on the planning and execution of a<br>
formal 6th Annual InstallFest, I'm willing to help.<br>
<br>
b) If others want a little help getting a new system installed, contact<br>
me off-list and we'll figure out the best way to make it happen. Also,<br>
coming to almost any Sunday ALE meetup<br>
<a href="http://www.meetup.com/ALE-Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ALE-<wbr>Atlanta-Linux-Enthusiasts/</a> will get the<br>
process started. Advanced notice is very helpful, but not required.<br>
Realistically, only 2 installations a week can be handled.<br>
<br>
The last InstallFest website is still up: <a href="http://if.jdpfu.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">if.jdpfu.com</a> - which has<br>
useful information - especially for pre-preparation. Only the distro<br>
releases would be different. There aren't any ISOs and some of the links<br>
aren't live, but the info is all there. Bring boot media (empty 4G-32G<br>
flash drive) and the distro to be installed on your hardware.<br>
<br>
Some swag from 2016 SELF, including stickers, distro DVDs, etc. is<br>
available. I don't bring it to every meeting, so please provide advanced<br>
notice if installations will be happening.<br>
<br>
If you have friends that aren't in ALE who might be interested in<br>
getting started with Linux, the Sunday meetings are very new-user<br>
friendly. Come, ask questions, see what Linux looks like running on some<br>
different hardware with different GUIs. The times and dates are on the<br>
meetup site.<br>
