Student Activities Fair 2006

As per our usual MO, the PUG will appear at this fall’s Student Activities Fair, this year on September 15 in Dillon Gym. Stop by and show off your sexy *nix setups or to learn more about the group. Also, as we have done in the past, we will distribute copies of The OpenCD.

However, the ISOs on the site are 6 months old and quite dated. So I have taken the liberty of updating the CD with the current versions of programs such as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird.

One thing I didn’t update, however, is the Ubuntu LiveCD portion. The reason is because I don’t really know how, and I don’t think it’s that critical for people to have the most recent version of a linux distribution if they’re just using it for demonstration purposes, as opposed to installing them on their computers and using them all the time (we hope!).

The updated ISO file and signature files are here, and you can find a copy of my PGP public key here.

Also, I have posted PDFs of the fliers we will be handing out this year. You can find our general introduction to the group here, and our accompanyment to the OpenCD here.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

UPDATE: The name of the server has changed, so I have updated the links.
