In the heady days of hobbyist computing, installing operating systems on computers was really difficult. People would get together and hold InstallFests - you would bring your computer and some people (possibly nerds) would help you install Linux on it. This tends to happen less these days as most operating systems are lot a lot easier to install. But that isn't stopping the DePaul Linux Users Group from having a meeting this Saturday, which they are billing as the DePaul Linux Expo. (It's open to anyone and hey, they have free food too.) Learn about Linux if you haven't already.
