Just fine. The crowd was about 20 large. Some serious problems came in,
which weren't resolved by the end of the day. One was a comp whose BIOS
couldn't detect SCSI devices. Another was a wireless adapter on a desktop
with no firmware, which had manual instructions on how to get Linux to
drive the wireless card and patch the kernel. The rest were dual-boot
installs, Samba install, and a bunch of laptop wireless network installs.

Needed a bit more tallent there, I'm afraid. No shortage of manpower,
just no key talent, e.g. networking and BIOS hacks.

A very nice showing, and some nice brain synergy. Great work!
