Thanks to all who attended and made our GNU Freedom Fest
\nInfo & Install day such a great event!<\/p>\n
I know we can count at least half dozen newbies that we aided
\nwith distro installs, problem solving or detailed Linux info. We
\neven helped a fellow from Texas lasso his laptop challenges:<\/p>\n
===
\n“I want to thank ALE for all the help I received on Saturday
\nat the Freedom Fest. Everyone was very helpful and stuck
\nwith me for HOURS working through partitioning problems,
\ndual boot problems, permissions problems and display drivers
\nproblems. It would have been hard for me to figure all that
\nout by myself. I even got some great swag!”
\n– Bradley
\n (The guy from Dallas with the HP laptop
\n with Ubuntu Breezy and XP dual boot.)
\n====<\/p>\n
As with all our ALE Install Fests of the past few years, special
\nthanks go to Harold Bieber for arranging the great space,
\nsupplying the power strips & network connections and
\ncollecting all the Linux books for door prizes. (With the help
\nof his Ximian web monkey, of course.)<\/p>\n
Special thanks also go out to Bob Stevens and Trey Sizemore
\nfor their help with SUSE installations, the Novell Linux Desktop
\ndistro packages and the great Novell and SUSE hat swag!<\/p>\n
