Thanks :-)

Hi Louisa, I'll go through it when I get home and make some
amendments. There are a few suggestions in this thread that I need to
put in, I'll add your proofreading fixes too :-)

Yeah, I did kinda leave it out intentionally. A few people have
misconceptions about what Linux is and isn't, especially because of
the FUD that MS is dishing out at the moment. I think sometimes it's
perhaps better to get them hooked first then tell them it's Linux when
they like it already :-)
