Since then, NTLUG has helped install Linux on literally hundreds of computers.  Troubleshooting In order to help the LIP volunteers you will want to bring:
You can bring other items that you want to get working as well. Just remember, if the system is not functional before it comes to the LIP, it isn't going to simply become functional.
