I've been emailing a bunch of people, and so far, we got a bunch of
eval disks of Turbolinux, but not much else. 

If we get started earlier for the next couple, we can get stuff,
I'm sure. But seeing the way the last installfest came together
(stone soup: we just said "installfest here and now" and enough hands,
docs, distros and pizza showed up. B) ) 

I think we could do a ballroom thing. I think we could do it well.
I just don't think we could do it without a bit more planning and a
bit more money, and we don't have time to beg either.
