[Chester LUG] Install Fest

[Les Pritchard]

That's interesting to hear.  Yes the netbooks have really introduced a lot
of people to it, although wasn't that some stats released the other week

of linux in the server market has increased.

Let us know if Liverpool LUG has any good ideas for an event like this.
