- Get help installing something you're not familiar with (it doesn't have to
be a full system fresh install; you can get help setting up PCMCIA drivers or
a video card, too)

- Give help to people installing things you are familiar with

- Meet new LUGgies in person

- Socialize with LUGgies you already know

- Hang out in one of the few places where you can be in a room with even more
computers than you have at home

- Swap old hardware

And I'm sure there are a few things I've missed.
