InstallFest volunteers?

[John F. Kohler]

Eric,
I'd like to help.  I am a beginner with Linux, still somewhat command line
challenged.
I have installed a bunch of Red Hat versions, from 5.2 to the most recent 7.0
and
guess I qualify fot the "holding hand" aspect.

I have benefitted a lot from NBLUG member help, both at meetings, (Frank Bell)
and
with field visits to my house (Mitch Patenaud).  For me that means it is
time to pass on the torch to another beginner, even with my limited skill.

I live in Daly City, but have a son in nearby Rohnert Park.   Successful
negotiation  with my wife can result in my showing up on Feb. 17.

Very truly,
John F. Kohler
