It is highly recommended that you have a voip headset, & not rely on a laptop's built in microphone & speakers, because the headphones keep the noise level down. Bringing a headset is not required, but is a great part of the being able to communicate with the global community. :)

RSVP _HIGHLY RECOMMENDED_ if you want installfest help.

This way we can be better prepared to help you, & you might get valuable advice from the mailing list members.
If you are new to using free software, an excellent system would be the KUbuntu GNU(Linux) software. It is very comprehensive, fairly easy to use (similar to Windows or Mac), & suitable for personal, home, university, or business use.
We are also glad to try to help people with software who join via VOIP. Please email the mailing list with requests that you want help with, so we can try to be prepared better to help you.
