Hello Phoenix Linux Users Group! What Goes On at Installfest?

[Andrew McRobb]

@Todd, speaking of old PC's where do you go? Craigslist or word of mouth in
the group? -- Need to get another PC and parts for my upcoming farm next
month.

Also, are you guys looking for volunteers for anything in the group,
besides Installfest? Have a pretty heavy background in web development.

Thanks,

Andrew
