Good, yes, no, absolutely not, and Debian Etch.

I thought the installfest was great, as usual. There were 2 new people 
looking for help, and another who is a friend of mine with an interest 
in Linux. We got Ubuntu 8.04 installed and working on his e-machines 
laptop, and that even included alsa sound. Something was wrong with the 
air conditioning, because it was very comfortable all day long. We were 
able to trip a circuit breaker by running the installfest through a 
single plug strip, and someone seemed to re-flash our router with the 
Linksys firmware. We never got the chance to reboot the firewall, maybe 
next month.

The distros were varied; the Ubuntu flavors, Fedora, Mint, Debian, and I 
am sure a few others were running; and there was no shortage of Mac's 
either. Vernon did the honors of delivering Pizza, and with donuts in 
the a.m., it was a good day.
