I'm glad you felt it was productive.  This was a hard installfest, but 
the best usually are.  We had about 25 people and I think everyone made 
some progress.  But with that many I just couldn't sit down long enough 
to learn how AIX is supposed to run on qemu, or why rpms don't do the 
selinux magic they need when they install.  So for anyone who felt like 
I ran off when things got hard I apologize.

But we had several new installs, some hardware that we made work, and 
some progress with squid/squidguard.  Thanks to everyone who followed up 
on what you worked on.

Jeff has set up his whole school on Ubuntu and had one of his teachers 
come in for an install on her new laptop.  And we both got to see how 
wubi works.

Lori was "most adventurous", trying to get AIX (for PPC) to run under 
qemu.  That looks like a fairly new frontier (more questions than 
answers on Google).  She also showed us how easy it is now to run IE 
under wine.

Thanks of course to DeVry for hosting us.  They make installfests easy. 
  And thanks to David (free as in freedom) Willson for the Free burritos!
