I've written a short press release about the InstallFest that Bill might want 
to fax to KTAR's Computer Corner show which is every Saturday morning from 
10:00-11:45. It would be great to get a mention on the show and even better 
if they did a remote or at least a call in to see how things are going. The 
show is sponsored by Data Doctors http://www.datadoctors.com/ .

Feel free to make any improvements to my humble efforts. Do a Google search on 
"How to write a press release" for tips.

RELEASE IMMEDIATELY

LOCAL USERS GROUP OFFERS FREE LINUX INSTALLATION HELP

On Saturday June 22 from 10am to 4pm the Phoenix Linux Users Group will 
sponsor a Linux InstallFest at Scottsdale Community College, 9000 E. Chaperal 
Rd., Scottsdale. This is an opportunity for computers users to receive expert 
help in installing Linux, a freely available operating system, on their 
personal computer.

Because it freely downloadable from the Internet or available as an 
inexpensive distribution at most local computer stores Linux is an 
increasingly popular alternative to commercial operating systems such as 
Microsoft Windows. In addition Linux is considered by many computer experts 
to be a more robust and secure operating system.

Computer users are welcome to bring their personal computers to the event and 
receive help from PLUG members in installing Linux along side Microsoft 
Windows on their computers. There is no charge for this service. Club members 
will available to answer questions about Linux as well. The event is open to 
the public.
