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.

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.
