I use rewritables now to reduce the garbage generation :)

391620 2005-11-16 21:24:00 Got SUSE 10 running on my A31 so will not need to go.. And you are right the linux devs know about bluetooth :D as a I saw the bluetooth daemons going past on the install.

It'll be fun experimenting again.

It'll be fun experimenting again.I would have thought that was a good reason to go! As someone using *nix, you could help those who aren't yet. Besides, teaching is the best way of learning, and there's always things to be learnt and shared :D

391625 2005-11-20 09:01:00 if i was going i would look at game support, which is already at the install fest.

what about networking? windows -> linux? and what about linux wireless networking? whats it like?

usb hardware, do usb printers, scanners, digi cameras - does linux simple plug and play?

usb hardware, do usb printers, scanners, digi cameras - does linux simple plug and play?generally works, unless it doesn't - not too dissimilar from the plug and prey situation your probably used to. I find about 70% of the toys i connect work.

This will be demonstrated on the home desktop system.

391628 2005-12-03 05:57:00 Well the Installfest has been and gone, and was a roaring success. Plenty of people came just to look and ask questions, and others left with a shiny new Linux installation or some liveCD's to take home and play with. :)

A couple of quick pictures from the event for those who wonder what one looks like:

Cable city (imagef1.net.nz) - we set up a network which allowed access to the internet for installation files and drivers etc. Also made for a wee lan party between the networked demonstration systems.

Installations in progress (imagef1.net.nz) - the whole room was taken up with machines getting Linux installed plus a couple set up as demonstration systems.
