| | Installfest - a Whatis.com definition |
 | | An Installfest is a special occasion when computer users get together to help each other install new programming, usually the Linux operating system and related programs, often together with experts and the resources to download programming from the Internet. | | | The Installfest idea has caught on, and, at some computer club meetings, the Installfest is an ongoing part of each regular meeting. | | | Typically, an Installfest is sponsored by a local computer club. |

| | East Bay Linux User Group Prepares for Second Installfest |
| | An installfest is where members of the local Linux community come together and offer their time and expertise to help new users install and configure Linux software distributions on their computers. | | | EBLUG's first Installfest in July of 2001 allowed more than 25 people to install and configure Linux software distributions on their home computers and solve more complicated technical issues with the help of their peers. | | | Whether a novice working on installing their first Linux distribution or a seasoned veteran, there will be someone at the Installfest to answer questions, troubleshoot problems, or help in updating to the latest version of the software that people are running. |

| | First Canadian National Linux InstallFest LG #34 |
| | The InstallFest was organized on a national level by CLUE (Canadian Linux Users' Exchange) to provide interested people with experienced help installing Linux on their computers. | | | One of the interesting side-effects of the OCLUG InstallFest was that preliminary discussions were started between Zenith Learning Technologies and Corel Computer to set up a corporate Linux training program. | | | Dave Neill, a founding member of OCLUG, said that while grassroots events like the InstallFest are a great way to promote Linux, it is now time to start approaching local computer resellers and show them there is a demand for systems with Linux pre-installed. |

| | Linux Installfest HOWTO |
| | That an installfest is an inherently chaotic event at which many computer components, peripherals and systems are present, therefore you are responsible for the security of your property. | | | For the purposes of this document, an installfest is a gathering at which experienced Linux users assist less experienced users with the installation and configuration of Linux distributions and where Linux users can bring Linux systems to receive assistance with system problem remediation. | | | That you are hereby advised that you should back up all important data before the attempt to install, configure or otherwise get the Linux operating system to work on your computer equipment. |
