Install Fests generally attract the curious and the convinced. They are
either convinced that they want to switch to Linux or they are curious. They
are also usually Joe Sixpack types who are getting on the clue train or
geeks-in-training who know that there is a lot of fun under the hood. Not too
many suits show up. That is another project in itself.
If we could wangle out way into one of the many computer shows at the Civic
Plaza, those suits and their minions do like to be impressed by the power,
stability, and performance of the kinds of apps that they license and use on
a daily basis
