[Nottingham] The battle of the distros.

Hello there,

We're running a 'Linux Awareness' day at green's mill, in an attempt to 
evangelise free software to the public a bit. The distro war was to decide 
which distribition we show to average joe (we figured this would be a bit 
more productive than Paul trying to convince everyone to use debian, I 
preaching the benifits of compiling your own OS with gentoo, Matt Walster 
crying SuSE etc...

Well, yes, hopefully more than one person; to anyone who comes along to our 
awareness day and wants something to take home and play with. (for a very 
nominal fee, like a pound or something, I think)

Kind Regards,
	Philip
