[plug] new topics for PLUG website

[John Knight]

Hi all! Anyway, this is a suggestion in itself that could ultimately end up 
on the website if it's a success.

Could we get lots of people in the LUG to announce who has copies of what 
distros and who's willing to make copies for others? What I mean by this is 
a big listing of everyone who volunteered for it and the distros they have 
next to their name, plus where they live?

This way we could see who else is in the hills area with.... RH 7.1 for 
example and then drop them a line requesting a copy. Does anyone else like 
this idea (I'd be willing to participate)?

seeya then! :)
