[ale] Installfest ONLY a week away

[Matthew Magee]

For some reason, I had forgotten about AbiWord.  I have used it before and 
found it quite useful.

I have been doing some homework before bringing this thing in Sat.  So far, I 
have tried some live demos to get a feel for the speed of the finished 
product.  So far, I only got Demo Linux to work with X.  Looked terrible, but 
the machine's performance was acceptable.  I couldn't get my SuSe LiveEval 
working, and I couldn't get Morhpix working in X.  I have found some other 
people who have used Linux on this particular model of ThinkPad (thanks Dow!) 
and I'll bring the info with me to make this less painful.

Somehow, I am getting the feeling that Slackware will be the best choice.  Any 
seconds on that one.

I will bring Damnsmalllinux, Morphix KDE and Morphix Lightweight edition with 
me in case anyone wants/needs them.  I won't have any copies, as the 
cdburner's giving me fits, but feel free to make a copy if someone brings a 
cd burner.
