What's the distro of choice, or is it up to the user?
As per the Wiki page: Recommended Distribution ------------------------ The distribution that we will be recommending and helping to install is Ubuntu v5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog). We have selected this as it is the distribution that most of the Linux experts in the LUG are familiar with and recommend. If you don't know what you want, please accept our recommendation and try this one. You can use the registration form to notify us if you are planning on installing a distribution other than Ubuntu, and we will try and have the appropriate resources / skills available. If you have not notified us that you would like to install a different distribution we cannot guarantee that we will be able to get anything to work. Craig
