Re: [Nolug] ideas to help nolug grow

We get enough flack from the BSD-only crowd (you know who you are) that a
presentation on BSD sounds like a great topic idea. Show the differences
between BSD and linux, rant about how it's more secure, then show us that all
of our linux apps will run on it.

In other words, I second the nomination :-)

Oh, and the BSD-only crowd had better show up at that meeting ;-)
