I chatted with my wife about this last night.  She suggested that it's
quite possible that we could have a design that isn't necessarily OS
specific.  After all, this is an installfest, not necessarily a linux
installfest.  Shoot, if you want to bring some old hardware and see if
we can get Windows 98 on it, I'm up for a challenge (so long as you
maintain it and don't call me).

My wife (in her designer capacity) is going to make some mockups that
she'll bring to the meeting tonight, and we can chat about them.  If
need be, we'll also post them to the web and link to them on the list.

P.S. I've already seen one of her ideas, and it has tux on it, with a
twist...  :)
