Re: [ACM] Re: LanPartyONE

How about something like this:

The WVU ACM and MorLUG (Morgantown Linux Users Group) are teaming up again
for their second joint InstallFest. The first InstallFest was held last
October to promote Linux awareness and alternative computing environments.
This time, the event will focus on MythTV. From the MythTV website, "MythTV
is a homebrew PVR project," harnessing the free operating system Linux.
MythTV is a way to use Linux to act as a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to
automatically record televsion programming and play it back at a later time.
Think TIVO with some Do It Yourself. MythTV is an excellent way to
experiment with Linux while getting some practical value from the
experience.

The event will be held March 28th from 5:30 - 8:30. MorLUG representative
will be on hand to help with installations (of all things Linux, not just
MythTV) and field questions. So bring your PC, a willingness to learn, and
the ability to spread the free software love.

PS: Refreshments will be served.
PPS: Check http://wvu.acm.org for more details.

Hugs and Kisses,
Ricky

I didn't mention anything about the CAE Linux install MorLUG will be working
on. It might be a draw for the engineering crowd. Has anyone at MorLUG been
publicising that side of things?
