While looking through Linux Today (http://linuxtoday.com) this morning I
noticed an article
on the channel 10 news story about linux. They have a link to the avi file,
but no mention
of plug unfortunately. It was a very short article so I copied it below.

the url is http://linuxtoday.com/stories/2778_flat.html

"A new operating system is taking on computer giant microsoft and winning,
but best of all, it's free." 
"Every computer has it, an operating system telling the machine what to do,
and for about 90 percent of the world's computers, it's Windows. Now
there's a new contender." 
"It's already challenging Microsoft's chief Bill Gates... his latest
windows upgrade costs $150, but the Linux operating system, which runs
faster and more reliably, is completely free." 
"For a small office, it's important that your word processor will run all
day without crashing."
