About giving stuff away, I'll redo my brochures with updated info on Linux.
Also, I'll see about making a standard "HLUG Open Source CD" we can all burn
with goodies for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Stuff I would include on the CD
would be:
Open Office
Gimp
Mozilla
Zsnes (without roms of course)
Freeciv
Freecraft
Gnu utilities
Freenet
Qcad
Please post on the list others you would think would be good to put on.
