Kevin,
If I start to say *preach* GNU/Linux, the chances are I'll be crucified by
the Windows and Mac users. Not many people want to leave their precious
Windows and some are very ignorant. It might turn into a war. At our
College, we already have a "Computer Technology Club" full of Script Kiddies
who use methods of  *hacking* a PSP or iPod, etc....Many others also say
that Linux is too hard for everyday computer use. My Brother is in the 8th
grade, he uses Linux for everything. Even 5 year olds in China use Linux.
Well, it's not like i've given up on the whole club thing, I'm still in
negotiation with the College about creating a "linux" club.
