[sf-lug] reminder, Linux demo & installfest for non-profits this Saturday!

[Christian Einfeldt]

Hi,

To everyone planning to attend tomorrow's event, described below, please
bring whatever tools you will need to fix computers, if you would like to
volunteer to do so.  We will only be fixing computers for people who are
interested in getting Linux installed (unless you are a Windows fan, not
likely on this list).  The more people with tools, the more people we can
move from Microsoft Windows to Linux!

Thx!
