Ubuntu Installfest

Checkout the alternative to Windows and Mac OS

Bring your machine or laptop. You can try out Ubuntu with a "live CD" that makes no changes to your hard disk. If you decide to install, we can help you set up a dual boot (whatever you are currently using + Ubuntu) or a Wubi install which installs inside Microsoft Windows. We rarely crash a working system but you should, of course, backup all your personal data (buy an external hard disk).

Doors open at 10:00 AM. No install will begin after 11:00 AM. Even though we will be installing the latest version, we need enough time to perform all the updates and solve installation problems

Coffee, doughnuts and some sort of light grub will be provided.

The event and all materials are free (even the doughnuts).

Oooops. Robbie Williamson <robbie@ubuntu.com> says

We are *REALLY* close to having 10.04.1 ready to go, but it turns out
that releasing 10.10 Alpha 3 last week delayed some of our efforts for
10.04.1.  Thus, we will be shooting for a release next Tuesday (August
17th).  This will give us enough time to have all milestoned fixes
properly in -updates, ISOs correctly sized (they are currently
oversized), and everything tested.
