That's the problem.. That's a very geeky word, and we tend to
get pretty technical at them, largely because we seem to
enjoy trying to get Linux to work on whatever arcane hardware
we can scrounge up cheap (or free) and an installfest is a great place to 
work out those glitches and seek some friendly help.

They typically preach to the choir or the acolytes.

I think I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is,
and have a: Linux Party and invite all of my non-geeky
friends to a Linux Party. But it's going to be a while..
I've got multiple projects and installs going on at work.
