[luau] Installing Linux Class

[Michael_Bishop/FARRINCS/HIDOE at notes.k12.hi.us]

HOSEF will be hosting an Installing Linux Class (aka install fest) at
McKinley Community School. Scott Belford will be teaching the hands-on "how
to install Linux" class. For the installation, you can either practice on
our computers or bring your own.

If you want to practice on our computers, just bring yourself. If you want
to install on your computer, just bring the CPU or laptop. We'll provide a
monitor, keyboard, mouse and internet connection. As for the specs of the
computer, we suggest at least a Pentium 2 with 128MB of RAM and a 3GB Hard
Drive. However Linux will work fine on a Pentium 1, but just so you know,
it will probably take longer to install Linux.

You can setup Linux to dual boot between Linux and another OS (usually
Windows). However, before attempting this, we highly recommend you backup
your data. While there are usually no problems setting up a dual boot,
there is always a possibility of data loss however remote it may seem. We
will not be responsible for any loss of data.

Don't know what distribution of Linux to install, no problem. We have
copies of all the major distributions and we can help find a distribution
that suits you and your needs.

Seating is limited to 20. *Please register* by emailing me at
