Correction, next meetings is on the 25th. We'r keeping with our old schedule.
".. second Friday of every month at 5:00pm, and the last Tuesday of every month 
at 7:00pm."

I've never installed Linux on any apples, be it mackintosh or granny smith (but 
would love to try). James Crasta has installed linux on his apple, albeit gentoo 
(not a good beginner distro) you might want to check his email from January [2].

I'm thinking of an install fest maybe as soon as the meeting after next (October 
12th). How many people would be interested in helping or seeking help at an 
install fest?
