Hi all,<br><br>I was thinking about organizing yet another Linux Installation Party, sometime in November.<br>The idea is to combine it with the W2L series, so people will see that it is not just good in "theory".<br>
<br>My reasons for the need of Instaparty are:<br><br>1) Hands-on experience. The best way to show what you talk in the lectures is to let them experience it.<br>2) People will be able to practice installation on their own computer, with the help of a veteran installer.<br>
3) To show them that Linux is both easy to install and use. They will be able to "play" with their distribution afterwards.<br><br>I was thinking about a friendly distrbution for beginners, probably Mandriva 2009 which is supposed to be released in October (currently in RC1 and working perfectly) or Fedora 10, if it is released on time. They both work great and most of all - clear from wifi problems and works great with KDE <a href="http://4.1.1.">4.1.1.</a> I find those distributions very easy to install, including the friendly partitioning and friendly use that both distributions have.<br>
<br>I would like to hear your opinion about it. I understood that there was supposed to be some discussion about it on Monday, but I couldn't arrive.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Adir<br><br><br>
