Yes, it did say any distro. I was referring to the use of a LUG system that hosted the different distros on the LAN and was brought to the installfest. Perhaps that part eluded you...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 05:23, Chuck Cole <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cncole@earthlink.net">cncole@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Someone had an old system they donated to the LUG for installfests that had
enough space to hold pretty much every major distro's current release and at

from.<br><br>I think the old system finally gave up the ghost. Or, the
