I agree with you.  I am willing to prepare some hand outs and help man a booth
at the business expo.  Over the past year I had a chance to implement several
Linux servers in our office.  I can provide info an Samba performance, IP
masquerading, WWW services, ...  All in a Windows Clients only shop!  I also
have info on cost of ownership comparisons between MS and Linux systems.
