I think the real problem with presentations is the range of experience of
members... a talk that will present new information to a hardened linux user
will most likely be over the head of or irrelevant to someone new, and might
even put off those who haven't yet made the switch, yet a basic topic
relevant to new users is unlikely to spark a lot of interest from those
who've been using linux for a while now.

As for kernel compilation, I think that's a really interesting topic however
there isn't really a lot to say other than don't be scared, read the help
pages, check the relevant boxes, compile and pray. Then repeat till it
actually works... not forgetting to keep a liveCD handy in case of
emergencies.

Anyway as for bringing live CDs, I'll also try and bring some Gentoo ones so
the non believers can see that it really doesn't break that much and bow
down before the might of portage.
I don't think people should be expected to use Ubuntu just because they're
new to linux so I think it would be good to have more distros on offer.
