Software Freedom Day (-7)
Linux Install-Fest and Workshop at Gaudior Academy in Inkster MI
In conjunction with International Software freedom day MDLUG will be hosting a Linux Install Fest. (The International Software Freedom Day is actually Saturday Sept. 15, but our meetings are on the second Saturdays.)
Bring your computer in and let us help you discover the freedom, flexability and other benefits of Linux, and Open Source Software in general.
Done your own linux install but ran into problems? Bring it in, maybe we can help you iron out your problem.
Bring just the computer itself. You can bring your favorite keyboard and mouse if you want, but we will have plenty of monitors, mice and keyboards on hand. However do make a note of your monitor's make, model, and its video capabilities so we can configure your computer's video accordingly.

For more information see out Install Fest 2007 page.
Or for your convenience download and print this flier. Feel free to print and post extras.
This is an Open Source Flier, so feel free to download the original document (OpenOffice.org [2]) and edit it as you see fit.
