Re: [LUG] Linux Install Fest at Exeter

["Kelly Jones" <kj at kellyjones.worldonline.co.uk>]

I have limited experience installing Linux and would be happy to help on the
day, most problems i have come across usually are caused by Incorrect
X-servers etc
Keep me posted, i am afraid i don't have a business as such to represent,
but i frequently hold stalls at computer fairs and i am sure i could get
some businesses interested.
