Hello folks,

Yes, I will be giving a talk this Thursday. Part of my presentation will involve an installation and configuration of Slackware, as well as a broader discussion of text-based vs. gui interfaces.

I propose to demonstrate on one (or more) of my own laptops,unless someone else wants to offer up a machine for a fresh install/config (that would make it more interesting for me). If anyone in the audience wants to try an install on their own, please let me know off-list, and I will run off an extra DVD/CD for you.

BTW, if any Mac-owner wants to install Slackintosh, you can also participate. You machine will have to be a new-world G3, any G4, or a PPC-based G5.

Even if text-based gynastics aren't your cup of tea, it might be a trip down memory lane for some of you.....
