I was asked to give a presentation on Linux at the local PC users group here in New Orleans back in January. I was very well received, and they stopped me about 3/4 of the way through my talk and peppered me with questions until my allotted time expired. Almost to a man, the people I talked to that night were disgusted with Windows because of the multitude of problems associated with it. I brought Knoppix CDs to a meeting a month or 2 later (I'd forgotten to bring them when I spoke), and 10 CDs went in like 2 minutes. From that group, we've had at least 2 people visit NOLUG asking for help with Linux installation, etc. -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL
