You can find links to its home page and some tutorials on the links page of the SIG Wiki. Also, I have been playing around with some portable apps from http://portableapps.com because I really needed to have KeyPassX work as a portable app. I have been able to run the Portable App menu program and, so far, I have also run KeyPassX, FireFox, and OpenOffice from the Portable Apps menu with it running under Wine on Ubuntu. I will show you how I do that. Bill DePierri also has some information to share with the SIG membership. See everyone Monday evening, Ed -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this InstallFest we will help you address any and all hardware and/or software issues. If you want to install Linux on your computer, bring just "the box". We don't need keyboards, monitors or mice. If you want to dual boot your computer with Windows, prior to the InstallFest be sure to check your hard drive for errors, defragment the drive and be sure that you have at least 5 gig of free hard drive space. I'll have copies of the latest versions of Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS available. If you want to use a distribution other than these, go to http://www.distrowatch.org and download the ISO of the distro that you want to install, burn the ISO to a CD or DVD as appropriate and bring it with you. See everyone Monday evening at 6 PM. Ed
