Alternatively, it would be ideal to get it installed during an
installfest; the next one is in Bunbury (20 Sept), not sure if
that's too far away for you. Perhaps we can do it during the next
Cannington Library meetup (6 Oct)?<br>

<div>Hi Russell </div>
<div>I haven't personally installed Linux on a Surface Pro however
if you search online there are plenty of resources.</div>

<div>My suggestion is that you start off by installing Linux on an
old PC or Mac.</div>
<div>That's how I started.</div>
