I can give some infos about this:
I write a mail to LL and I have requested a normal PC with TFT-Monitor
(normal office pc). LL will make a backup from the whole disk and we
can fdisk/install/... the pc.
On the first day Alexander must install the pc with debian. Alexander
should have some CDs with debian and install this.
I have requested a internet connection too. Last time we have a dsl
like connection via a dsl router. (We don't need make this dsl setup.)
After the install he can upgrade to testing/sid etc. via net.
Please Alexander don't make a full install. If you had X and net
working, you can start your demos.
some thoughts:
- don't install any package on the pc with the installation. If
someone ask 'have you XXX?', say: 'not jet', type apt-cache search,
apt-get install and show the request package/programm.
- Don't use KDE. (KDE is not evil, but the visitors see this on _any_
linux like booth.) You can install it, you can start a second X
server with KDE running, and show it on request. But don't use it
with your normal demo.
- if you don't know some thing, say it. (we all not a expert in all
tasks) But maybe you can search with the visitor in the internet
for the answer of his question. Also you can use the IRC-Net for
this 'hot questions'. Use the debian community!
- If you can, show things on request. Like building debian package,
config things, installing packages, apt pinning.
- Importent: talk about free software! Without this freedom, this all
is not possible. Educate the visitors about this importent fact.

We should have on. If not, I will send a warning mail.
