I know the BLU folks put these on regularly, but I think its worthwhile to make this convenient to people more local to NH. The goal is give some light to the fact that a Linux install is doable by average Janes and Joes, should they be so inclined. The event will address helping with the why, how and explaining the dual facets of "free" .
