  Those were all good topics.  But here is some food for thought.
What kinds of problems can be solved using Linux (and the supporting
free/open software that runs on Linux systems) and what are the
tools used to solve those problems.  If it is a new problem we can 
brain storm a possible solution.  If it a past solved problem, someone
could possibly give a simple synopsis of their solution to the problem.
Don't get me wrong, as a group we need to cover the basic topics such as 
installation, maintenance, and administration, for all the newbies in
the group to Linux, but the I believe the bigger picture of Linux should
be on how to promote it as possible alternative solutions to the
MS giant.  It seems to me that a big problem free/open software is most
non-Unix people think if it is free it must work like junk.  So by using
tclug as a platform to promote Linux systems and solutions by our hands on
experiences, we can disprove all those Windows bigots.
