Wow, what a really cool idea!!!  I firmly believe that the best way to 
fight lies and injustice is with the truth.  By sharing copies of a rock 
solid distro with the public perhaps we can open some eyes to the FUD 
that seems to follow M$ and their pimps.

of Missouri in hopes for a large showing.  I'd like to get your thoughts and ideas as soon as 
possible, since this has a relatively short fuse, and would require some amount of logistic effort.
