[olug] giving the gift of Linux

[Jeff Hinrichs]

Knoppix 3.1 didn't like my laptop.  It couldn't figure out the neomagic
drivers.  Mandrake and RH don't have problems detecting it though.  I
probably could have config'd it to load the correct X settings but I
wanted to see how it would work by just slapping the CD in.
