I am trying to get some of the local schools invloved in Linux. I have
discussed the idea, let them with a few URLs including Linux.ie and some
other info on Linux and education (I belong to fidonet and send out
education linuxc files) software. I think it is a good idea as it showes
people there are other OS' beside MS and I always do it as an
alternative not as a better OS, I keep this to myself :)

I also install firewalls and antivirus software for people and my advert
does mention Linux and everyone askes me about it :)

Damn, I was supoose to lurk :)
