Please be warned that this system is now automated (database). This report
comes out at the push of a button. I think it is accurate with the
previously (maintained by hand) postings. Just in case, please review it
carefully for errors. Hopefully it will aid with future InstallFests
(documentation) and reduce errors at this next one. Thanks

Other Thoughts to Consider
These are thoughts which while not necessarly (may or may not be) an
active
component of the installFest, we may not want to risk forgetting them
untill such time as we have decided where to place them (a home) or to
reject them. Please keep in mind that this thing is on a data base.
Brief Descriptions of "Essential" Commands
I think a list (w/brief descriptions) of "essential" commands is a
must.
How/when to update your new system (which brings up the idea of apt for
rpm)? Per "Bart Garst" <bartgarst@cox.net>
Desktop Icon to Distro OnLine Documentation
ALL MAJOR DISTROS HAVE INSTALLATION MANUALS - some people just find it
easier to use others to do the work for them and thus they never really
learn anything. ... Per Craig White <craigwhite@azapple.com>
Desktop Link to:
A link on the desktop pointing to an html tour of their system is a
good
idea. The question is, what to include in the tour? Maybe a link to
PLUG
"Bart Garst" <bartgarst@cox.net>
List of Counterparts to Familiar MS Apps
What the counterparts are to the Windows apps they are used to.
A quick guide on how to find answers through google?
PLUG Icon of Desktop
We should have a PLUG icon on their desktop that opens up the PLUG web
page or, even better, opens up a PLUG newbie page. Per der hans
WTYB Page (what ever that is)
The WTYB page could also point out documents and maybe have a tour of
the
new system. Per der hans
Welcome to Your Box Intro at Log In
What we need is a good "Welcome to your box" intro that automagically
pops
up when they log in. Per der hans
