For the First time in History of Manipal a Linux ( Fedora 8 ) Install
Fest took place on the Campus, it was organized by Linux user Group
Manipal. It was Basically a 2 Day Fest, on 24th a Pre-Install Fest /
Meet was there where participants were Informed about the requirements,
advantages and Importance of GNU/Linux and what all we will be doing in
the second day i.e. 25th , there were all information given about
various events held by companies inviting students to innovate. The Day
ended with the collection of DVD to be burned for 25th Main Fest and
some 45+ DVD's were collected with DVD's still coming till start of
Second day
Second day began with partitioning and distribution of DVD's after
which the main install fest began and all the steps were shown and
explained, there was some DVD corruption / Improper burning in 1-2 DVD's but
everything else was just fine, a script was prepared for upgrading
Compiz and enabling 3D effects for the HP 6515b laptops, the script
handled most of the task which were to be done in command line though
all people were explained what it did but since most of the people were
First Time users it really made the task of configuring the system very
easy, rest laptops faced no problems so they directly booted in
Graphical mode already being out of time the Install Fest was Finished
with some problems still remaining which were solved
Me (Ankur Shrivastava) and Dhananjay Shingh Organized and guided the Install Fest..........
We are looking forward for Organizing more events like these
