ACM at UA Part 2

Like I said, here’s some pictures:

This week we had at least 10 people say they’ll be at our install fest next Tuesday “for sure”. Combined with what we had two weeks ago, I think our installation day is going to be rather busy.

As far as how exactly we’re doing our installs we’ll be having people either bring in their own computer, where we can then do the install and tweaking for them (including getting icky broadcom drivers to work, proprietary graphics, and setting up a connection to UA’s wireless). When they show up we’ll ask a few questions such as “Do you play games on windows?” or “Is there any software you use a lot [that wouldn't be available on fedora]“. Then we customize the system for them (dual boot, setting up wine, showing cedega, etc) and send them home with a copy of the install CD we built with Revisor for their system. The CDs get labeled nice Fedora/ACM logos with the disk printer the CS department bought us just last week.

If you’re a fedora user or a UA student, drop on by the 3rd floor of the student center. We won’t be too busy to say hello!
