[Newlug] Linux Interest

[Mike Schwartz]

     I'd like to see us go more into depth on these topics, too.  Maybe we
could broach them as part of an "Installing and completely configuring SUSE
11" or "installing Ubuntu 9.10", to make it more interesting for additional
members who are fairly well versed with linking a new kernel and such.

     Maybe we could do this as an additional track (additional meetings) to
our regular meetings.
