Why, there's nothing I enjoy more than deleting a FAT32/NTFS fs.  I
could handle it.  Sounds like the meetings are rather intimidating,
though, with all that grabbing and slapping.  If I attend, I'll
definitely go incognito.

(Actually, there are a -few- things I enjoy more that deleting
partitions.)

I asked my original question in part out of fear for our own company. 
We received the "letter", and I think we're mostly safe, but I have some
mild concerns.  We do have a couple of machines that still boot to Win98
for very specific applications.  We don't run any unlicensed software,
but some individuals within our company have managed to lose EUAs and
other paperwork.

Ok, I volunteer, as time permits; add me to the list.  Knowing in
advance where and when would be helpful.  I haven't really stepped much
outside the RedHat/Mandrake world; does it matter?  I've performed at
least 100 installs.  I'd rather stay away from the "Sun", if possible. 
Hopefully the handful of people within NCLUG who know me can attest to
my ability/credibility.  (I did visit the last installfest.)
