UTP Install FES 2007

Yeah, once again we manage to pull out some sort of ad-hoc event inside our local campus. At first i'm a little bit worried since we are making the Install Fes without any proper permission to use cafe . But it seems nobody mind us so with go back down to business.

We set up our booth around 11 am . Kagesenshi kindly provide us with his 16 switch box and Fedora 8 mirror repositery. Setting up our booth and network is a clinh. Due to some technical reason (most probably lazy) we only managed to provide installation for Fedora and OpenSuse . The reason why they ain`t any ubuntu? The color is kinda sickening these days.

At first i thought we only get hits around at most 10 people (usually the normal guys ) but surprisingly we manage to pull a lots of crowds too. I say around 30-40 people (one of em is a girl) have their box install with Fedora or SuSe which is pretty amazing.

Unfortunately not all installation are work out of the box. One guy who wish to remain anonymous couldn`t kick in to linux because of the PCI Bios Bug which had n`t been fix yet. Bios vender i suggest you checkout with linuxfirmwarekit to make sure it`s not ship for "Windows only" . That is sucks.

Special thanks to all our #linux@utpchat.net without u dorks this ad hoc event won`t be a success.
*Note.. i was not in the picture. There`s no way i would like to take pictures with bunch of dorks. no fun :p
