/* two cents and change
But that's where LUG's and community support come into play. If the 90 
year-old grand dad wants to install in Linux (or anyone else for that matter) 
there should be some Linux community representative around to lend a hand. 
(Where did grampa get teh Linux distro in the first place?) 

We linux people need to rise up and make our services know. Yeah yeah.. you 
wanna make a living off linux. go forth and do so. but remember that Linux is 
community driven - we need developers and computer users to help those around 
them.
