Combine the old-style "Linux install fest" with elements of our abandoned NewUserNight project to create a <NOP>HelpFest.  A <NOP>HelpFest would be targeted at anyone who needs help with Linux and/or other GNHLUG.FreeSoftware.  Anything from installing Linux for the first time to getting some particular aspect of their system working to tweaking a particular program.

Ingredients:
   * warm bodies (volunteers)
   * a decent Internet connection
   * a working Linux box with
      * local copies of most major distros
      * local mirrors of recent updates for those distros
      * third-party releases likely to be of interest (e.g., <NOP>OpenOffice.org)
      * a CD-RW drive for "burn on demand" CD production
   * a small Ethernet LAN to connect it all together
   * a computer projection screen would be nice, but isn't required
