[SlugLUG] Installfest Discussion

[Rohan Sheth]

Additionally I wanted to mention something that Larry Cafiero about
installfests.  Since most versions modern of linux are almost completely
trivial to install more pressure would be placed on helping people with
current installs of linux do things like play MP3s or watch dvds
(libdvdcss).  I doubt very much actual INSTALLING will happen simply
because it is so easy to do.
