          I was wondering if PLUG has an upcoming 'installfest' event? <br>
          <br>
          I have installed and used various Linux flavours on various
          Windows 7/Chromebook machines (Joli, Puppy, Lubuntu, Bodhi,
          Ubuntu, Gallium), but installing Linux on my recently-acquired

          has got me stumped. <br>
          <br>
          I have followed instructions from various forums off the 'net,
          but none of the procedures seem to work (when I boot off a
          Linux boot USB, the laptop just freezes to a prompt and
          nothing happens). <br>
          <br>
          I think it would be best if someone more experienced was
          watching over me while I did it, to see what I'm doing wrong.
          <br>
          <br>
          Thanks in advance and best regards, <br>
