Linux Installfests

What Is An Install Fest? An Installfest is a free workshop held by Linux user groups like ours. Computer users get together to help each other install and configure the Linux operating system. Simply bring your personal computer to an installfest and people will help you get Linux up and running on it, for free! Note: You must RSVP first; see the checklist below. --- Check-List --- Requirements Hardware requirements for running Linux Preparation How to prepare computer prior to the Installfest What to Bring Which components of your computer system you'll need to bring Release Form Please read it! RSVP Finally, use this online form to sign up to get installed! (We ask that you RSVP at least 24 hours ahead of time!)

--- IF Schedule --- Installfests take place on various days, sometimes Friday evenings, sometimes all‑day Saturday or all‑day Sunday. There's currently no regular schedule. Any upcoming events are listed below: TBD Please arrive on time. We like to stagger when installees arrive, but if you arrive past later than 3 hours prior to the Installfest's end, we cannot help you. Typically, installing Linux from scratch takes about 3 hours. However, be prepared to spend the entire day.

Who Organizes Them?

Volunteers from the LUGOD, the Linux Users' Group of Davis organize and run our Installfests. We also often run Installfests with the Computer Science Club at UC Davis.)
