Jaunty Installfest

We just had another Jaunty Installfest. For this event we teamed up with the University of Arizona’s Computer Science Department for a co-hosted installfest. The CS Dept. has just recently made the change over to an all “Ubuntu” Operating System Dept. w00t! We did dual boot, VMware, and parallel for MAC installs during the day.

The folks seemed enthusiastic about Ubuntu, and we’ve already had several folks in our team channel who got Ubuntu installs at the event!!

A big thank you to the CS Dept of the U of A for co-hosting this event. Also to team members: lenards, azmike, todd, soldats, hutchnate. Great work team.
