I've been chuckling away to myself watching this topic.
I am currently updating the Compact Guide for Linux for Computerbank.
Computerbank is an organisation run by volunteers. We renovate donated
computers for the poor and disadvantaged in Melbourne Australia. If it
wasn't for open source software we would have to charge people license
fees for the 50 carefully selected programs on the computers. We give
free training and give the computers away for no charge. To see the
look of delight and discovery on some of our clients faces is pretty
special.
