I have some powerboards, powercords and network cables, but more would
be great in case we run out on the day. Thanks Lana.

http://mirror.linux.org.au is located in the building and we'll get
good access to it... We can set up another server on the day with any
other distros etc. that people might want to install. I'll look at
setting up a network installer for Jaunty and Lenny (latest stable
Ubuntu and Debian, respectively).

Between Paul and myself, we'll get wireless set up as well.

Cheers,
