This is excellent news, keep up the good work.  We at Cowlug have been
catering to the Linux "Noob" for a while and have found it very
successful.  We settled on Ubuntu as the distro of choice and all
instruction and such is done with an Ubuntu slant.  Makes it much
easier.  As newbies gain expertise they are free to move on to other
goodies such as Fedora, Kubuntu, SuSE or Debian to name a few.

Well done VLUG and BB&C
