A few years back we did the 10 minute demo/discussion of individual
utilities or tools.  It worked pretty well, but we had a bit of trouble
keeping these discussions inside the 10 minute window.  I started getting
complaints about meetings running too long.

I'm certainly game to try either approach again though.  Anyone want to do
a 10 minute or less introduction to a Linux program or tool at next week's
meeting or does someone want to create a one night Linux tool-talk?  Which
do you guys think would work the best?
