I'm from muskegon, and I dont know if anybody else uses the GRLUG but I do because we dont have one. I would love to be part of an install fest, but I cant make it to this meeting. Maybe next time we should schedule it for a friday early afternoon, not saying re-schedule this time but something to think about. I've been using linux for only about 7 months and love it, so you guys have reached a little more west :)
