This would be a great topic for a talk at one of our meetings, but not
perhaps the next one.  We will be sending out a campus-wide email this week
to advertise the next LUG meeting (Tues, Nov. 6, 8pm in Fisher 138).  I
propose the topic for the main presentation should be something general, like a
comparison of the major Linux distributions.  I have no idea of how many
non-CS major people will show up, but we should aim to grab their interest
and make them want to come back for more (first impressions and all that).  
Focusing on a rather narrow topic at their first meeting might cause their 
eyes to glaze over.  :)  But definitely, this would be a great topic a few
meetings down the road.

If anyone can think of any other general ideas for the main presentation topic
for the next meeting (besides a comparison of Linux distros), please speak
up.
