Good idea,  may be worth providing a few of the leaflets with the lug
details on so people interested have a point of contact for help with
install etc.  Should also attact some new members.  I think it's in pdf
format on the Lug site.

Sounds like a good idea,  perhaps we could also give a few of the mandrake
cd's to them,  as I am sure there are some gifted children out there who
would possibly be interested in Linux.   It would also prove a good
challenge and a free way to learn programming without the limitations and
expense of windoze.
