For reference, I am a senior CS/Chem double major. Last time I walked into the science building with a Tux shirt on, I got a few snickers and a snide remark from the CS faculty :) (perhaps the grad faculty is more receptive?) The closest thing to a Linux box I've used on campus (that wasn't in my dorm room) is the OSX machines in our chem lab :) I think an installfest at St. Thomas would be great.

Hey I'd be glad to help with organizing an InstallFest at St Thomas. We're a complete M$ house, and I know that the students and faculty both would welcome the opportunity to speak with some Linux gurus, get some setup help, etc. Give me some info/contacts and I'll run with it. We should do it at the beginning of the semester before things really get cooking (i.e. within the next month or so).
