Before this night, I had already surmised this was a group of people who by and large didn't know anything about Linux, except perhaps some vague impression of it being too hard for the average person. Indeed, when I told them I wanted to speak about Linux, they asked me not to because "we have our hands full keeping up with Windows." I persisted, because I, of all people, know that the average computer-enthused person can do Linux, at least to the point of getting it installed, getting on the Internet, and doing office-type tasks. After a few days, they got back to me with a decision: go ahead and talk about Linux -- maybe they couldn't find anyone else to speak that month.
