[DM-MUG] Software Freedom Day & Linux installfest 9/10/05

[Bryan Baker]

I'd say about anything that has "new world" ROMS is a decent bet.
x100 series first gen stuff is possible but tough to get going.
Not too sure about the 3400c, I've seen a couple people install OK on  
bronze G3 PB's though.
Not surprisingly there is a list for the LUG, which I think you can  
sign up for from the homepage: http://cialug.org

There is also a hardware "checklist" mail form that will send details  
of what you plan on trying to the coordinators.
