I think the mini-demo idea was a good way to go about it. It was offered to me last install-fest by my family and I were sick. As for this week, my wife and I are talking over my coming. I had promised her that she'd be able to go out with some friends that night in advance (cookie-swap) and while she insists that it's ok if I go to the wlug meeting instead I don't feel right reniging on that promise. So I might miss this AGAIN. ARRRRRGHHHH! Maybe this could be the January topic? I'd be interested to see anyone who's got a Zarus as well, how do you like it?

Since the ipaq install was described as a mini-demo, perhaps a PDA night? IPaqs, zauruses, palms, whatever else.
I'd suggest... How to install linux on them. (including explanation of distros, and package formats) How to sync them with a linux desktop. How to sync the linux pda with a windows desktop. Other cool stuff? war-walking?
Hmm... Not sure how easy it is to show off PDA stuff to a large group due to the screen size. I bet there's solutions to that (run vnc on the pda?)
And also... Perhaps another talk someday could be "Linux on unusual devices" ... PS2, dreamcast, toasters, refidgerators, whatever weird things linux is running on. Anyone got any ideas there?

Now that is a great idea for a meeting (says he who has an IPAQ)! Anyone else think installing Linux on an iPAQ would be interesting?
This will probably make for an intersting mini-demo at a meeting. It's been a long time since i've gone through all this stuff though (since i
installed
linux on my ipaq a year and a half ago and a lot has changed).
