Welcome to the Victoria Linux Users Group InstallFest Signup Page.

If you are interested in attending the InstallFest please fill out the form below, or email the president for more information.

Please also note, that if you are going to be attending the 'fest, and wish to have Linux installed/reconfigured/updated, you will have to bring all of your own hardware.

e.g.:

• Computer CPU unit. AKA tower, desktop case.
• Mouse
• Monitor
• Ethernet cable for network access (important)
• Any external devices. e.g. modem, scanner, joystick.
• Power cords and any required cables
• Keyboard
• And spec sheets for your various hardware.

Also please note the following: For a complete install of Linux with the X Window GUI, you will need at LEAST 150 Megabytes of free disk space. The lowest hardware requirements for a basic Linux install are as follows:

• 486 or better CPU
• 8 Megs of RAM
• 100 MB of Hard Drive Space, 150 if you want the X Windowing System installed.
  Note: Much more is prefered. A 1 GB partition for Linux is prefered.
  
• You must also have: either a cdrom/dvd drive or a network card (compatible with Linux) installed in the machine with which we can use to install the operating system with.

Please also note: to save time during the install, please be sure to defragment your harddrive no more than a day before the InstallFest if you are planning to dual boot your computer.

For other platforms, ie:, Alphas, Sparcs, etc... , please email Carl B. Constantine about info for these platforms.
