Linux Install Fest is a hit

After a long awaited time, finally the Install fest started off on 24th January. Since this Install Fest was scheduled to be held for two days. Yesterday we people guided the people to defragment their hard disks, scan disks for erros, laptops batteries charged all those necessary stuffs.

We had collected DVD’s from all of them who wanted to get fedora installed on their laptops. Why we choose Fedora? Nice question! This is due to the fact that the Xserver driver for ATI graphics cards provided to first years had bugs. The graphical interface would never come up. Nothing to blame Linux in it, it just incorporated the drivers which it is provided. To get the graphical interface running we had a script that installs a driver from a third-party software provider. The Driver would be put up soon as possible. Hope all of you have it on your C: drive. The driver is in the folder called “script”.

We had collected some 47 DVD’s from people, burnt Fedora and returned them today for installation. We had some 30 Ubuntu CD’s which we too tried to distribute, but as it was late, all people didnt get it. We have lots of pics too, please dont mind, it from Mobile Camera. Bear with us.

Keep checking this site usually, we will roll out lots of nice information,HOWtos and “Tips and Tricks”. Spare out some time to read the earlier posts and comment as you feel.
