For purposes of this document, an installfest is a gathering at
|
2004-03-26 18:42:25 +00:00
|
|
|
which experienced Linux users assist less experienced users with the
|
2004-05-27 23:47:55 +00:00
|
|
|
installation and configuration of Linux distributions,
|
2004-03-26 18:42:25 +00:00
|
|
|
and where Linux users can
|
|
|
|
|
bring Linux systems to receive assistance with system problem
|
|
|
|
|
remediation.

2004-05-27 23:47:55 +00:00
|
|
|
a guide, not a recipe that must be followed exactly
|
2004-03-26 18:42:25 +00:00
|
|
|
to have a successful installfest.
|
|
|
|
|
Any installfest where most of the people leave happy is a
|
|
|
|
|
successful event.

In order to reach the more people, fests should be held

on both weekends and weekdays. The time of day is not

|
|
|

as important as the duration of the fest, which should

be 6 to 10 hours. Here is why:

How much power does a computer need?
|
|
|
|
|
Laptops need about 0.5 amps.
|
|
|
|
|
For a desktop/tower/workstation type of computer
|
|
|
|
|
the amount of power needed depends on the monitor,
|
|
|
|
|
number of disk drives, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Basically though, if everything is connected to one
|
|
|
|
|
power strip, then they need at most 3 to 4 amps at the moment
|
|
|
|
|
that the power is turned on and 1.5 to 2 amps while
|
|
|
|
|
they are running.

copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts:

Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back

cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the

publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title
|
|
|

with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add

other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited
|

to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and

satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other

Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general

network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of

added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably

|
|
|
prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity,
|
|
|
|
|
to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the

stated location until at least one year after the last time you
