People dumping hardware looking for free consulting. They heard
that Linux runs on old hardware and they have nothing to lose bringing
their old junky hardware with the hopes we might be able to spin up
something interesting. 

I am tired of installfests. 

We should make the requirement that you already have linux installed before
coming to the installfest!

Office Max has 8GB thumb drives for four bucks each! We ought to rip
custom thumb installs!
