[clue] Some preparation before my talk

[David L. Willson]

Can I just show up with a CentOS box and go from there?

If not, can I get the commands to add the needed packages again?

Also also, if one of our guests isn't lucky enough to have a spare box, or enough hard drive space for a dual-boot, could they, theoretically, do this in a VirtualBox or Vmware Workstation VM?

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
