PLUG InstallFests are on the last Saturday of each month. That would put
this month on the 26th. I have heard unconfirmed indications that this
date may be changed because of the Thanksgiving holiday. But, for now, I
assume it will happen.

We must not be in the Mandriva network of LUGs since I hadn't heard about
this until now. Any Mandriva user/fan is welcome to promote it at the
InstallFest!

I read their locations list after I saw this. Utah and Michigan are the only listed US locations. Obviously, there are lots of locations in France; hopefully none of them in risk of geting burned (literally).

I wonder why there aren't more US locations? Mandriva 2006 seems like a good desktop distro, I thought.
