[plug] Channel 10 on Linux

[Mike Holland]

Guys, be real.
They wont get that many sound bytes in. This is tabloid TV.
I would see it as an opportunity to raise interest in Linux.
To hope to educate people about Linux there is ambitious.

Some dumbed-down concepts that might suit their show are:

"Linux is fun."
"Linux is cool"
"Bill Gates is Evil"
"You can do better than Windows 95"

A mention for PLUG would be cool.

For perfect happiness, remember two things:
        (1) Be content with what you've got.
        (2) Be sure you've got plenty.
