Re: [TCLUG:4260] InstallFest - March 6th

Tim,

It'd be nice if you could get copies of all the major window managers
downloaded and ready to go -- WindowMaker 0.50.2, E DR15 CVS, AfterStep,
etc. Also, maybe get copies of Slackware, SuSE, and Debian? Oh, Redhat and
Debian for the Alpha architectures might also be a good idea... if you
have the hard drive space, of course. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to
this one.. Saturdays are always way too busy.
