Please excuse the snipage but I wanted to concentrate on the future
moot part of your post.

Great idea.

Why only you bring your box.  What about others bring theirs too. :-)

Nik spoke about the idea of a "Common Linux Hacks" talk and I think this
fits in.  The SLUG now has a portable Debian mirror which I can bring
along in case anyone whats to USE DEBIAN or just do a "apt-get dist-upgrade".
Believe me from a local mirror it is not a long process.  So if you want
to try Debian and have a Debian expert walk you thought the install
process then here is the idea opportunity.  The system is also configured
as a DHCP & DNS server.  

Power uses of other distros could also bring installation media and help
anyone who wants their system installed with that distro.  Please announce
if you can bring a distro so that other know before hand what will be 
available.

The format of that moot would be something like this:

  19:30  Meetings start
           Also kick of any debian installs that are wanted

  20:00  Linux Hacks talk
           Nik, would you give this please?

  20:30  Anyone who brought a machine gets to ask questions on
           "How to I..." and the the rest of us have a bun fight
           on the best answer - there is allays more than one way
           of doing things in *nix land, but only one way, my way,
           is correct :-)

I suggest that we make this the March Moot.  February moot is already
booked, and an install/hack moot would be better served with Internet
access which is more likely in March than February (but I am hoping it
will be in place by February).
