In honor of Software Freedom Day, members of the PACS Linux SIG will show a Wubi install LIVE. "Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way." Then a brief guide to the basics of the Ubuntu Desktop Environment will be shown.

Following the main meeting the Linux SIG will continue in the Willow Grove Room until 3PM with an Installfest where you will be able to install Linux to your: Computer (Desktop and/or Laptop), Netbook, Hard Drive (any), USB Flash Drive (1GB min.), or CD. These installs can be: Full blown installs, Live installs with persistent storage (flash drives), or VMware / Virtualbox VMDK images (ready for your VM). Do you have older hardware, that you can't or aren't currently using? Bring it in and give it a new life. Bring your computer, flash drive, or hard drive and go home with a new operating system to play with.
