I think having a generic "Advocacy SIG" would be most appropriate, most effective, and least prone to catastrophic disintegration. With a distribution-agnostic SIG, any vendor -- Ubuntu, RedHat, Debian, -- could contribute indiscriminantly to FOSS/Linux advocacy activities. > distribution is best.

For example, the Windows user who has never used Linux before will almost certainly be more comfortable with Ubuntu than with Slackware. Consequently, handing out specifically Ubuntu install disks to potential new users is likely to be appropriate. But for the SIG itself, I think that would best be left distro-neutral. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
