Re: [TCLUG:5314] National Library Week, and Taxes are due.

Nice idea that of donating books !  I do not mind helping out.

How about donating a few linux CDs to the library. May be people
could borrow them for trying out at home ! 

Or even set up a few terminals that run netscape on linux
and offer to maintain them at the library ?  I see that they
have 2 terminals that people use at the Dakota County, both
of which run windows95. Though the funny thing is that the
text based web-browser on the vt-terms is lynx !

But I can't figure out where to contribute it.  I'm sort of leaning towards XFree86 but I don't know much about them aside from the fact that I wish XFree86 had better looking cursors and better mousewheel support.  I'd like to contribute to Gnome but who _is_ Gnome?  I use Enlightenment but I saw that Raster just bought a new car and it's a hell of a lot nicer than mine. :-/  Maybe I'll just go buy some stuff at Linux Mall.  Any suggestions?
