This is an interesting point.  It would be nice if the people there are
able to talk not just about Linux but also about the benefits of Open
Source software regardless of what you run it on.

I wonder if the AFFS has fliers.  Hmm, doesn't look like it though I
could be wrong.

I imagine once people accept OSS won't eat their hard drive, they are
more likely to be willing to try linux.
