We will be meeting in the Hummingbird Room which is reserved for the local ACM chapter. Thanks for ACM for helping us out on this.

We will be meeting at a temporary location for the June, July and August west side meetings as access to the school will be unreliable for us this summer. We will return to ACAA in September.

Topic: Unetbootin and Asus EEE Install howto

Presenter: Ryan Rix

Abstract: Everyone knows about the EEE line of laptops produced by Asus. Some run GNU/Linux, they all have an incredible battery life, and are very cool looking. They have a HUGE user base of not just 'regular' users, but also hackers geeks and modders, as well. One of the major setbacks of these devices is the lack of an onboard cd-rom and dvd-rom drive, which makes it hard for regular users or even some hackers to install a third party distribution on them. This presentation will look at Unetbootin, an application which takes the usually complicated and arduous task of turning a flash drive into a bootable installer and makes it a simple "click and go." Along with looking at Unetbootin, a very quick overview of the specifics of installing Fedora 11 on an EEE 1000HE will presented to tie things together.
