   Yes, but how do you get the message across? The person at Ealing Adult
Learning has not heard of anything other than Microsoft, previous experience
shows that people are unwilling to even try running something like Knoppix
on their own box because of possible problems, so I feel that something like
the University Lab facilities are required so that people can try
installing, configuring, and perhaps making mistakes, on other hardware. 
   One possibility would be a community computer club.
