Wow!

Ed, big thanks to you for taking over for the Linux SIG a long time ago. You are definitely doing a better job than I ever did!

Good to hear that it is growing and getter better.

Hi Pete, 

I am glad that you enjoyed the InstallFest. They are always a lot of fun for 
me, although also a bit chaotic as well. The young man that helped you out is 
Maurice. He is, and will continue to be, a great asset to the SIG. His 
knowledge of Linux is astounding for a man of his so few years. 

I too would like to thank him. Joe, Will, Jean, Larry, Don, and everyone else 
that helped with the InstallFest because I am sure that I have overlooked 
someone, but rest assured it was not intentional. 

To say that the event was a success would be quite an understatement I think. 
I don't know how many installations we did last nite but it must have been at 
least 10. 

I think in the next workshop we are going to start off with a look at why 
Linux is not Windows, thanks to an article that Tommy Minton gave me. Then we 
will look at the multitude of features and capabilities of Xandros File 
Manager, the hallmark Xandros application and one of the things that set it 
apart from the other Linux distributions. If we have time, we may also do a 
brief overview of how to install software with a more indepth workshop on 
that in the near future. 

Our path forward is to have an InstallFest probably 3 times each year and then 
following each one we will "recycle" the workshops starting with the most 
fundamental things like using the file manager, software management, 
customizing the desktop, the Linux file system, etc and then moving on the 
how the use the myriad of Linux programs. 

I am excited with the progress that the SIG has made so far and am looking 
forward to great things in 2007. We have some really exciting plans for the 
future. 

Ed
