[PLUG] Linux Expo/Demo/whatever

[Shwim]

I think Richard has a point here.  Maybe the focus shouldn't be comparing
OS's, but rather showing the features of Linux.  One section on the Office
Tools, another on Networking, and perhaps another on Multimedia.  

At first sight, the Windows vs Linux comparasion seemed like a good 
idea, but at most of the computer expos I've been to, the companies
show off their hardware/software.  They don't tend to 'compare' things
side by side.

Also, another section might be information on the many distros available
along with whatever promotional items we can get from some of those
distros.  

Just my two cents...
