We do make it clear that we're not there to provide free support for ever, 
just help people get started and maybe demonstrate techniques later, such as 
doing digital photography using Linux, which we did a couple of meetings ago. 
Last month the specific enquiry was about setting up a subversion server, 
which is something that I can offer advice upon.

Everybody is told about places such as the Kubuntu list, Wiltshire LUG etc and 
encouraged to join. Don't know if anybody has, though.
